What cars have you seen driving around with paint the color of charcoal. Now I'm looking for a nice true charcoal look to it, not an off grey or a blusish gray, but charcoal. The closest one i've seen is the 02 Mustang's Dark Shadow Grey(not the pewter looking one, but the darker one), However I dont feel its just dark enough, I would kind of like it a little darker. Would metallic chips, or pearl esence take care of the job with that paint?

here is an example

i think toyota makes a color similar to that for the tundra

Ask a professional painter. i'm sure he/she would have no problem giving you the right answer. Paint can be mixed to any shade you desire. If the shadow gray is a close match,
use that as a starting point.

nice color BTW

Check the "seal skin grey metalic" from the later Boxster and 996 models
Very nice color!

cheers,

Dolphin Grey (vw/audi color). But it looks like you want something a little more metallic.

Both VW and Audi have particularly nice grays methinks.

That car (and house) looks familiar!!!

Grey looks great on a teener.. MB Anthracite is my favorite.

Have you seen the muted new Beatle colors.. uhh.. I am in love with that blue.

I wish I had ordered my Boxster in Signal Orange or Gemini Metallic Blue. Still going with Adriatic Blue for my 1970 /6 conversion.

Hey! Orange Boxsters aren't ugly!

Now, if Porsche would just make a Boxster Targa

Steal some design cues from the 914 and it would sell like hot cakes.

Nah... It wouldn't look like a 550 spyder anymore if they did that

cheers,

I have the gray 914-6 formerly owned by Jim Chambers in Oregon. I like the color. I believe it is a later-year Porsche color.

I love Rob's color scheme. I saw it up at Brad's shop when I first saw my rust car, and wanted it painted the same way. It looks so stealthy. Brad promptly convinced me to go original silver, or he'd disown me. Maybe the NEXT 914 I own...

BTW, congrats Rob. Didja post a pic of the ankle biter on the members page yet?

If'n I be impotent, I got's to dress impotent....now where is mah powder blue tuxedo? Ah hell, the dog chewed the white shoes and matching belt.....

What I want to know, is how did they change the color on this car? It is the exact same picture of the exact same car. Only the color was changed. Someone must be really good with Photoshop. The only difference is the color. How did they do that?

selective color replacement
