My wife approves of me restoring my 914, with the proviso that she gets to pick the color. The one she thinks she wants is Iris Blue. I searched for images of teeners painted iris blue, but didn't find any that appeared to be this color (metallic blue with a strong undertone of purple). Anyone have any pics and/or ever seen a teener in this color?

That picture really looks more like purple than blue. I think there was a color called Lilac that might be close. Otherwise, something like this, perhaps? (Photoshopped)

I showed the wifey and she loves it! |
