My car is a poster child for a color change being done "wrong." The door jams are orange, interior is all orange, trunks are orange, engine bay is orange, and the rest of the car is blue.
Im on my way to doing it "right". Stripped interior, engine, trunks, seals, etc. and a full respray. Attached image(s)

Both of mine are signal orange - love that color.
The new one - is white - I can't take a white 914, so I am looking for a nice yellow, it is for the wife and that is her favorite color so that is what it will be. But then it will be faster than mine - wait can't have that white it is. |

QUOTE(Doug Leggins @ Nov 1 2004, 06:02 PM) 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.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) Dude, that is AWESOME, its also the ONLY way to do a proper color change, and just a bit too "committed" for most. |

See, I'd rather have the best 914 I could get for my money then I'd change it to the colour I want.
Those outside of the fair state of Calipornia can't go 914 shopping on the bases of colour alone. Yes, I have seen bad colour changes, but done right it's fine. I do admit a white 914 is an easy colour to work with, because it's a base colour. Attached image(s)

But most of the guys who say they don’t like colour changes also don’t like rear reflectors….

I’ve also been told my negative stripe isn’t right, because it doesn’t wrap around the fender lips.
Oh yeh... my rims are wrong...I do have a set of fuchs..they are on my squareback. Attached image(s)
