Most of you have seen this picture of my car painted black.

I was shooting for the Jack Olson look 914 as I think his 911 is sooooo nice looking!

I think a nasty turbo car should be Black.

For some reason I see an Orange car as a spirited High compression Carb car.

My car has been Black for a long time but it was originally Signal Orange.

I have struggled with which way to go with the repaint (I actually had a sleepless night over it) this car is making me crazy.

With how often I am laying all over the car digging into the engine bay even with my work cover I know there will be no end to fine scratches everywhere and it will be an upkeep nightmare if I keep it Black.

My first 914 was Phoenix Red (Orange)

I have decided to bring the turbo car back to it's original color.

Try talking me out of it.

SIGNAL ORANGE
