Since I am going to repaint the car (yes it looks good from 15 feet, but up close it sucks)... I am thinking of repainting the 914 a different shade of yellow.

As it sits next to the Elise, I notice that the sunflower yellow (L13K) is quite bland. I have had toughts of making it match the Elise (which is a bit more orangey) or painting it a real Porsche color such as Signal Yellow.

I read in a previous post that 914-6 #5210 was painted Signal Yellow. I would like to see a picture of it.

DaveP informed me that #4 is Signal Yellow... might make a good tribute to #4!

What do you think?

How does the Signal yellow compare to the Saffron?

do you color coordinate your underwear to your elise too?


signal orange yo!

Do you do ANY work in that garage?

Just like I just said.

Glasurit POR 12K.

No offense to the yeller teener owners... although I know that's a small crowd.. with tiny weeners..

THE WORLD DOES NOT NEED ANOTHER YELLOW TEENER.

Ok, bombs away...

I agree...

I always liked Ravenna Green. I STILL think I may want to paint mine that color.

Tell you what Quarl, I'll take your tub, and you can have mine and paint it whatever color you want. It'd be the perfect trade!

(NOT my car...I wish though!)

Have you thought about painting it Chrome Orange (Elise color)....?

Maybe I should do that to my car.... :-)

Fiid.

Hi Qarl,

I vote to change the color. If your thinking it, do it!!!!

Tom

DaveP just informed me the #4 is Signal Yellow!

That might be a good tribute to #4





I'm not so concerned about "originality" as the car is so far from original. But I think that the Signal Yellow is closer to the Saffron Yellow (Lotus) then the the the Sunflower Yellow...

No... I am not

I think you would soon tire of two cars the exact same color. I also think the car should be a Porsche 914 color, something that would have been on a gt or six in 1970.

What went wrong with the first paint job? (just want to make sure it doesn't happen to me)

Forget about it and just finish you car...You liked the color enough to paint it in the first place.

the flaws could be seen under a microscope. if you're looking to change, do it in irish green, seriously. few cars are that color, and it looks great with shiny bright work. find a paint code tag that's correct and no one, except us, will know the dif. i did vote to leave the car color it is.

k

No.. the flaws can be seen by looking right at it...

Runs... fisheyes, too thin paint, too much paint, and then areas with NO PAINT at all.

Plus, I think some areas weren't properly primed. Some of the areas were not properly prepped and then some areas I wanted fixed were not.

Unacceptable.

Ask iamchappy. He's seen it in person and he agrees with my decisions to redo it.

Yes, Qarls paint job really sucks the big one.

I'd go the brightest/ loudest yellow you can find....you want to have to wear sunglasses at night to view that puppy

i had know idea carl. i take it the guy is paid in full?

k

Carl,

Signal Yellow or Guards Red... How about both? Congrates on the new Lotus

Hmm.. okay... no Lotus yellow...

Still thinking about the Signal Yellow though...

make up your mind...pansy

paint it like a GT..... cage it and all.... make it a GT

Karl.... I vote for a signal yellow....it looks good on any Porsche...or...bikinni top...Yup
I sure do

Signal yelow - either that or bare metal it, polish and laquer delorean style.
Nice to see British cars are going down well over there.

It would look sorta like this...

Just a tad bit yellower than Signal Orange

Or this...

SUNFLOWER mayun

Inserted for purposes of side by side comparison:

Another photoshop attempt...

Ahhh... I guess I'll just keep it yellow.

Qarl, Did you find a shop for the repaint yet?

YPAF, but IMO the Porsche factory yellows are just a tad bit off. Chrome yellow comes the closest to what I think yellow on a teener should be.

That saffron doesn't look bad at all but it's tough to judge through a computer screen.

I've always liked the chrome yellow too, ever since I've seen pictures of Rich Johnson's car.

yes, chrome yellow!!

What color is the web page banner? (halloween's over guys) How 'bout a turkey?

go green............by the way nice lotus

Guess you dont need to match the Lotus after the tire store incident.
