In early 911 circles color change can be a viewed as a negative in most cases, but acceptable for a tribute or outlaw.

What's the consensus in 914 World? I'm nearing the paint stage for my 6 which was originally Safety Orange... but it's a GT replica build and there are some tempting paint choices.

Am I being too careful sticking with the OG paint color or could choosing something more personal affect future resale? Thanks for your replies.

Hi Brant - I am curious as to why your color change was "not fun to live with"? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
