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)

QUOTE(Cairo94507 @ Apr 13 2022, 09:30 AM)  Hi Brant - I am curious as to why your color change was "not fun to live with"? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I still have the car I color changed it from Tangerine to black in the mid 1980's jambs. trunks, and all. We had the car stripped down to a wire loom, no glass installed to this day I still find orange paint peeking through each time the color is scratched.. including under the floor pan, including inside the wheel housings, etc. I did not have the car blasted at the time. in hindsight.. I wish I had... but was a lot less experienced in the mid 1980's brant |
