This is a 1974 car, but not the original paint ( it was Olympic blue). It's a copper color, now faded due to the sun, but it suits the card in my eyes and I'm wondering if anyone recognizes an approximate Porsche color.

QUOTE(marksteinhilber @ Nov 8 2018, 10:00 AM)  Also fun to use the visualizer tools:.. Two Things: Is this 'Visualizer tool' on-line somewhere that we on the forum can use, or a personal program you have ? ...and secondly, I know I'm weird but I really like dulled down metallic paint on our cars, it kinda glows at the rounded fenders, and has a lived-in look. If it wasn't for that rear trunk I'd say 'Don't Paint it!', just maybe buff it. JMHO. This is a color I've considered for my '72. |

In any case I very much like the lived-in faded color. I am sure that new paint would be much "brighter" and not have the same effect. She is going to need paint but unlikely I am going to be able to match trunk to the rest of the car, so the whole thing needs to be done. At that point, will be tempting to put her back to factory Olympic. Sigh... |
