I own a wrecked Nepal Orange 914
I just bought a signal Orange 914 that was painted black on the outside only, inside is the signal orange still. I don't know what to do about painting it- Which color is better? Nepal or Signal could you tell the difference if i put all my Nepal orange body parts on the signal orange painted 914? |

Keep it stock unless you plan on painting the front trunk, gas tank area, engine bay, and rear trunk as well. Color changes are worth less on resale. Is signal organge THAT bad to you? If you can't live unless you have Nepal orange, keep your eyes open for an original Nepal and buy it. Please don't release another color change car onto the world.

Signal orange really grows on you...or at least it did me, I really didnt care for it until I picked up my most recent 914which is that color.
If you liked the nepal orange you will probably like the signal orange just as much. So why not go back to the factory color? |

Done right is 0.5% of the color change cars. Or LESS! |

I was never a fan of doing a color change because most are done poorly. But she was white and I had to have signal orange!

Signal Orange!!!
Done correctly a color change looks good. THis tub was completely mechanically stripped before painting. It is a lot of work to do a color change and get good results. But if you really want your favorite color.... Attached image(s)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Nobody said that doing a color change is easy and that the majority of them turn out bitchin as a matter of fact most of them turn out like shit because most of the people that attempt them either dont know that much about 914s or what all is involved with doing it properly.As far as value is concerned I have already accepted the fact that it will be a looooong time before I get my money out of my teener whether its stock or modified. People make me double over and laugh when they cringe at me for color changing a "factory six"! Whats even more funny is that most onlookers whether they are veteran teeners or not dont even realize its a color change to begin with unless they check the karrman body tag in the door jamb. Anyhow I plan on being intered in that car because I finally found the one I want to keep!

To all of you colour change CW's I like my signal orange originally white (ick) colour change 914 My 914 is a CW's dream car with a colour change. It was done quite nice with no over spray in the trunks etc. It's got a few dings in the paint and I'll probably repaint my "white" 914 again...in signal orange. I don't care it's my 914 :finger2: So you can kiss my signal orange colour change 914's.... Attached image(s)

Now I have the color I want..... The car was taken down to a bare chassis and repainted, including underneath, the engine compartment, and both trunks. |
