I'm thinking of doing a color change on the 993tt from midnight to riviera.

Who does the highest quality paintwork in the GTA?

Thanks.

Just wrap it in Riviera Blue so that when (soon) you get tired of it, you can return the TT to its original color easily

The 993 TT is a very desirable and valuable car these days. Unless you do a complete colour change (every painted surface inside and out) you may have a pretty good chance of hurting the value. I'd hate to guess what the complete disassembly and reassembly of the car would cost in order to do a complete job.

I looked into it on an earlier Porsche years ago. Cost was just probhitive and not doing it properly would have killed the value.

Another shout out for Bestline. I have had a bunch of cars in there over time and they are absolutely excellent.

I took the advice of Zookie and other board members and had Rich paint a new bumper for my 997. Couldn't be happier. He will be respraying my hood (road rash) and fenders this fall.

I used Vaughan Fine Touch on the GT3 and I'm very OCD about paint. As long as you give them time, they'll do great work. You can't tell I repainted the nose of my car.
