There is only one color that matters in the Texas Heat; white! Since white isn't on your list pick whichever is the coolest one to the touch. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

QUOTE(aggiezig @ Jul 19 2017, 10:26 PM)  QUOTE(Larmo63 @ Jul 19 2017, 10:18 PM) If you are going to do a complete strip and re-spray, meaning EVERYTHING, then do what color you like.. There's nothing worse than a color change not done 100% correctly. Agree, car is being taken down to bare metal so it will be a good platform for any color. I have heard from a BMW friend that Malaga Red is a good primer because of the amount of metal oxides in the pigment, so for portions of the car where the paint is good, you might not want to go sand all the way to bare metal. |

I don't like red, but I'm with the crowd that says original is best. Mine is white because it is cool to the touch in the summer heat. I'm partial to blue, therefore I vote for Mexico blue. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon_bump.gif)

Adriatic blue. It's correct for the era and you don't see many/any 914s on the road with that color.

QUOTE(aggiezig @ Jul 20 2017, 04:39 AM) QUOTE(Ferg @ Jul 19 2017, 10:36 PM) I understand that reasoning but be prepared for a 20 percent hit on resale if that matters to you. I think by shaving the side markers, antenna hole, back-dating the bumper, ditching fuel injection and upping the engine bore I'm probably already losing the originality $$$. Honestly, I'm looking to hold on to this one as long as I can. Did all those to mine and then went with the original Palma Metallic Green (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)  |
