I've long been torn between repainting the original Malaga Red the car came in or trying out a blue. The two blues that come to mind are Mexico Blue and Adriatic Blue. I think I seriously love all three colors equally, for different reasons.
The car will have black vinyl sail panels, a black targa top, and black ABS molded rocker covers. I am planning on running 2.0L Fuchs with the centers painted black. I picked up samples of all three colors today and sprayed some test swatches on a spare hood that I had. Ignore the paint quality please, this was a quick throw up job. From left to right: Malaga Red, Mexico Blue, Adriatic Blue. What gets your vote?

The thing is I am absolutely divided between the three colors... I'm looking for some outside opinions (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

I do not know if you care but as our cars are bringing some real money and if you are doing a super restoration than it has the possibility of becoming very high value car in the future. In that case Ferg is right on the 20% less for non-original color delivered per your VIN. Look at 911T 70-73
If you are just doing a so so restoration. Then it probably will not matter. Bob B |
