Some of us may have our "favorite" color, but does it work on a 914? Very few cars look good in ANY color, so if you're a fan of yours (which you should be) tell us why. To keep it an original color is a great reason also, even if it isn't the most popular or even "fits" the design. Maybe we can all learn something about ourselves today...

Porches should be light silver. Period.

I agree- on a Porche. But what about a Porsche?

Oh dammit. I guess I will go work on my Catarac now.

Any Color Blue!

Car Candy!

I guess being German, you can be excused!

Sorry, Icouldn't help myself!

L50E Adriatic Blue.
I decided after doing some samples that I liked the stock color very much.
my other options were a very bright almost neon green and Plumb Crazy. The wife didn't like the plumb crazy (i was surprised) and really liked the blue. It helped that it was the stock color.

One advantage we have is that the cars are small- if you have a BIG car and a loud paint scheme it can look obnoxious. I've been looking at Laguna Seca Blue and saw it on an M3. It's very nice and with the right accent pieces can look damn sexy!

Any color blue looks killer on 914's... but I'm partial to Oslo blue

Nice! I looked at the S4 Audi blue for quite some time. very pretty. but, since my car is mostly glass, I didn't want to spend a lifetime sorting out every wrinkle.

That's kinda what I'm saying- your blue looks great! On a Ford Econoline, probably not so much...

but on a 64 falcon with some black trim and on the hood, oh my...

Black, because it just looks mean

Diamond Silver Metallic...

I like color. All colors that are in your face.

When I was looking for my current car I wanted silver. But, as often happens, the color finds us and I ended up with Marathon Blue, which is an icy blue. I dislike the black bumpers used in 73-74 so I went with body color bumpers when the car was painted. I think it improves the visual proportions and makes the car look a little longer and sleeker.

Canary Yellow. 70's cars look good with wild colors. Mine is the brightest shade of yellow PPG had that didn't look neon to me.

Silver!!

The obligatory 4 sports car colors of course. But these little cars really excel with all the skittles colors. Must be because its a child of the 70's. Taste the rainbow!

I'm trying to decide on the new colour for my 914, learning towards silver or grey....or Cobolt blue....
Anyone got a comparison between the original silver and diamond silver, the diamond seems more grey which I like.... I think...doh!

Aubergine or blues (Alaska Blue, Adriatic Blue, Gemini Blue or Marathon Blue)!! I flip flop back and forth between liking these colors. Too bad aubergine and blue don't go well together as accent colors.

Orange is faster than yellow!

I thought you had a Rincoln...

The only car that looks great in orange... .maybe a 69-70 Mach1 comes close..

Metallic Copper. Because that's how it came I don't know thats what I would have chosen if I'd had a.choice but I really like it and when it gets the full rustoration it will be metallic copper. But I really like Ricks black GT look, I would take either marathon blue or Adriatic blue. My next choice would be yellow, I already have a Speed yellow Boxster

Summer Yellow.

tino

Ravenna green is my favorite.

I chose to go with "Concrete" over "Porsche Sport Grey" by a coin-flip. Hell...I still may go with PSG after-all. Nothing is final until the paint leaves the gun.

(I know...not a Porsche, but this is the color I chose.)

What about porsche macadamia metallic brown? I would love to see a Photoshop of a flared 914 in this color.

Canary Yellow because it's supposedly the most visible color to brain dead, texting drivers!
