914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Non-standard paint colors

Posted by: boxsterfan Nov 25 2003, 05:43 PM

I feel I want to paint my 1970 its original Adriatic Blue, but I am such a masochist...

Anyone have pics of their teeners in non-standard colors? (non-original 914 colors). For example, I kind of like Lapis Blue Metallic.

I am 99% sure I will paint it original. It's that darn aubergine thread a couple weeks ago...plus I want to see some more 914 pics!

This is called Marathon Blue Metallic. It is a 911 color from the early eighties. It is a little bit calmer than some of the 70's colors that came stock on the teener. Although your original isn't too bad, I kinda like it. A little flashy.

Mine was originaly Marathon Blue. Not blue enough if you ask me. Of course, people still call mine silver all the time.

I have no idea what this color is called. It was painted by the PO. It's a dark grey, sometimes it looks a little purple when the light hits it just right.
