I think Estoril Blue is interesting, too.

Is this a 997.1 RS that needs paint or a GT3 that will end up with RS panels? A black 3.6 RS is pretty rare. Sounds like you're in a "good" situation for a project.
it is a 997.1 GT3, which is being converted to a 997.2 RS.. (if anyone is wondering how much a 997.2 RS decklid and wing costs, I can tell you.. 1 kidney, or your firstborn)

I like estorial blue as well,, but reminds me more of BMW M cars in the 90s..

Sounds like a great project.

A gt3 with full cage and rs rear fenders.
Since the car is already altered, a paint change wont hurt value as much as the cage already has.

Id say paint it rivera blue.

In this case, since the car is so deep into alterations paint change wont really affect values. But that being said, on a car with nothing done to it, regardless of paint shop, color change and or respray will hurt value.

Nothing short of having porsche in germany color change the car will keep values at market.

Very exciting project. Please share pics. Sounds like a fun track toy in the making.
Good to see you decided to complete the project. I bet it was hard to resist.

i sure hope you are talking about a wrap color. are you seriously talking about repainting your RS? Think of the implications in resale value. can you really not live with black? i'd spend the money, wrap or paint, on lots of other things on the list before a color change.
