Car was a beautiful shade of blue, it is now down to bare metal all paint has been sandblasted off, both inside and out!!.
Its getting: GT flares, some rust repair, custom rocker panels, custom front spoiler, custom rear valence, and body stiffening kit....all steel. Not to mention she's gettin a new euro 993 3.6, a close ratio 915, 930 wheels, Brembo brakes (maybe) and misc. upgrades etc. The car has been apart 8 weeks now and will start going back together in about 3-4 weeks. I have always loved and had silver cars, my first 914 was silver, my wifes car is silver, my truck is silver, my Hog is silver. What do you guys think? color change would you do it? |

Ofcourse color changes are generally a no-no, but In my case it was academic - it had already been done for me. I sure wasn't going to bring it back to off-white - yuck. I had seen a picture of an adriatic blue -6 and knew thats what it had to be. As for your car, I would recomend a factory color, and one thats not too common and also not your typical hot rodder red, orange, or yellow, beautiful though they are. Silver would have been a good choice except that you seem to have too much of that going on. So, how about metalic gold or that olive green (delphi?) I've never seen either of those as a -6. And bring your rockers back to black. It makes it look stock, gives good contrast, and stands up well to the wear and tear that area gets. Sorry if I carried on a bit. I know how it is - when I got my 911 painted I dwelled of the paint charts for hours before going with arctic silver. The contrast of the black targa bar, polished fuchs, and black bumpers was too much to resist.
