992 GT3

[w5pwr]

Looking at getting a 992 GT3 and was wondering what peoples view of Crayon Grey on a GT car was, is it a fad colour or will it last the test of time?

[Stanley Rous]

They look perfectly prepped for top coat in my opinion but it doesn’t really matter what I think. There will be plenty of people that really like Crayon too but only one opinion that counts!

I’ll do you a deal though. If you get a Crayon GT3 and don’t like it, I’ll always swap it for my Shark GTS.

Edit removed a smiley that didn’t work.

It felt a bit different 8 years ago, a bit like the 997 Sport Classic's sport grey.

I feel it has been done to death now. But only ever buy a car in a colour YOU love, otherwise you will get itchy feet and swap earlier and that will cost you far more in depreciation.

I know what you mean about being done to death, I was having look at the samples at my local OPC. Many seem so similar and very difficult capture the correct colour with a camera under lights....

Ask yourself how long flat grey windows/kitchens/wardrobes in properties will last before they become so last year and therein lies your answer.

Strange how history repeats itself grey was so in fashion in 1988 but soon fell out of favour just like white did in the 1980s as a car colour.

Rather depends on how long you intend keeping the car and whether you actually personally love the colour.

Arctic grey is the latest Porsche Crayon replacement but is becoming less popular.

Imo Crayon is a flat boring colour far better to go for a classic Porsche colour but as usual each to their own.

Personally I love it but am very biased.

Looks great and shows contrast with all the black bits, also looks very, very different under different skys. (Sometimes white,almost lavender, coffee colour.)

I also love black which is unpopular apparently so read into that what you will!

[oddball1313]

I wouldn't, personally i'd go for GT Silver which will always look timeless but also look like you're not trying too hard

[Devil.Z]

I love the colour, and I'd never go silver. Goes to show everyone has their own personal opinions, and yours should be the most important!

I think crayon, looks great and is timeless. Have had it on a few Macan's over the years and on GT3T. Look stunning imo.

[Joscal]

Love this.

When I was on the hunt. I always dismissed black, but when one came up with almost perfect spec. Inc full ppf from topaz it was a no brainer. Looks awesome and importantly it didn’t have black wheels. Which I think get lost on every car

[Far Cough]

Looks good on a GT car but far less so on the Macan's and Cayenne's.

It is a fashionable colour and as one poster above stated it will go out of fashion. Regardless of any of our opinions , do you like it ?

With all the excellent firms offering wrapping and coloured PPF , if you get bored , jazz it up a bit.

My T was black and it looked fantastic, agree on the black wheels. My GT3 has them and whilst the contrast is good it would look better with silver.

I always thought crayon looked like undercoat then saw it in the flesh and went out and bought it!

GT Silver for the win. Classic colour with lots of heritage (Carrera GT etc). Looks great when clean or dirty and sparkles in sunlight. HTH.

[bish_345]

if you like it, get it. It doesn't matter what others think. Life would be very boring if everyone had the same colour because it was "the best". Personally, I've gone Viola.....

[F12DDE]

I've got a GT4 in in crayon and personally love the colour.

I like to tell people it's PTS concrete

Your car, your choice

I like a flat grey golour but Crayon does not do it for me. In certain light conditions it looks properly greay and in others it has a brownish tone I don't like. Had a GT solver 997 eons back and loved it to bits. GT also changes depending on light conditions but all in a consistent manner. Some people may call it boring. For a Touring it can be a great to choice in order to fly under the radar
