Actually I never liked the Gulf colors on a teener.
Maybe because it was not a true Gulf team car. But that's just me. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) P |

Flug car...that's good (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) ....might be worth it just for that. I'll try yellow and purple too.

Since orange is a a combo of Red and Yellow, does that mean it will be faster appearing to police while traveling faster that all other 914s?

No. My past experiances prove that that much color distracts the police. Its sorta like this:
.......Vrrroooooooom...............................merVrooommm...... And the cop is like Wow, look at that. What the hell is that. Holy jeeze! What was that?!? |

Hey, I resemble that remark! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) What else do you do with Olympic Blue!? Reverse scheme would stand out, don't think I've ever seen that combo Attached image(s)

With all the lovely colors out there, why use that gawd awful blue? I may be corrupted from wearing a hard hat of that color for 15 years, but there it is.
The up side is that's it doesn't show the body work ripples....kinda like shitbox yellow (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

Thanks for your opinions and suggestions....keep 'em coming. Here's the deal: The car is original signal orange, which is ok by me, but there's just a bit too much orange for my taste. The trunks, jambs etc are all really nice so I don't want to do a full color change. Also it's going to be a street car, summer driver, no flares (for now), big six, 7x16 rims, so I don't want to give it too much of a race car look....just something a little unique, a bit agressive, and not all orange. The Gulf blue is not my fave either but it has a Porsche tradition and it seemed like a reasonable starting point for exploring the possibilities. When I get some time (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) , I'll try some more colors. Any other suggestions?

Don't do anything. Them straight sides won't last long past the first time you drive it in anger......that was my experience, at least. No sense spending money on pretty paint now. |
