You guys should name the blue, so the op will know the specific name, just sayin. He's looking for paint options I believe.

My suggestion is to do a google image search for '918 blue'. I think the 918 got the best colors from porsche's past and some were stock 914 colors. IMO the 918 puts them in the most idealistic view. I personally like the "voodoo blue" .. mexico blue. OTOH, I love the glow effect of metallics too. Picking a color is tough!

+1 on Marathon. It's almost as nice as Silver Metallic (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

A close second is Alaska.

I guess I just really like 914’s because they all look really good to me.
We could probably play this game with any color and I’d be happy with it in my garage.

OP here and yep you got it I’m still looking at paint options for my 75/76’ restoration that begins next week. Found a couple more here and I’m leaning heavy toward Olympic. Thanks for the input everyone. Keep em coming.
