Default Any blue 964's here?

Just curious if there are any blue 964's in Canada. I'm really liking colors like Maritime blue lately and was wondering just how hard it would be to find one here.

I have a midnight metallic blue 964, haven't seen a maritime blue in my neck of the woods.

Maritime blue is hot...pretty rare colour from my understanding.

The past President of Canada West Region has a Blue 964RS. Not sure which blue though.

Possibly. I'm really liking the bright blue right now so if I could find a comparable one I'd definitely be interested.

Sultan, wrapping it in maritime blue is an interesting idea although isn't wrapping $2-3K?

A plain wrap without any graphics shouldn't be too bad.

I think I remember reading that high quality vinyl would cost ~$600. I have no idea how many hours of labour would be involved though.

Not sure what the cost of wrapping is, there was an article about it in Provinz magazine recently. The benefits of wrapping allow you to keep the original paint colour.

I considered the same thing and was told I wouldn't be happy with the result.

I'm considering buying my 964 back as the new owner told me he wants to sell it...stripping it apart and painting it Maritime.

That's a bit of a shame. I don't think I would ever paint a different colour unless I was totally restoring one.
