991 GT3 RS - Paint To Sample - Idea's Please
Discussion
Hi there lucky enough to be getting my hands on a 991 GT3 RS and without sounding ungrateful, I'm a little underwhelmed by the four colour choices
White - good RS colour , but done to death lately.
GT Silver Metallic - really great colour and really suits the RS - however , its a little tame for an RS
Ultraviolet - no thanks
Lava Orange - its quite nice - but quite nice shouldn't be a reason to choose it ?(looks slightly flat and washed out in real life - no where near as rich and deep as the rendered images) Also its now a standard Porsche colour - surely the launch RS colour should be kept for the RS ?
OK so we have PTS - any suggestions please ; I have decided I don't want to go Riviera , Mexico or Voodoo , as much as I like them , they seem to be becoming a standard choice on GT cars.
I quite fancy Signal Yellow , but I'm not sure if historically this was ever an RS colour ?
Lastly , has anyone gone PTS and been given the old "you can have it but it will delay your car 100 years" line from their OPC ? My car is a November build ( I assume there is some truth in this depending on the colour that you choose?)
Discuss .......................... please - if you don't mind

I actually think it looks best in white from the pictures I've seen so far, but yes a common colour now. I also thought about SY, but then again I'm tempted by the UV to be honest.
I then wondered about an off white cream colour I've seen not sure the name though ??
I was told there should be no delay for PTS if ordered now for a November build, but not sure it that's actually how it works. I also read somewhere there may be a certain small period for all PTS cars to be built, but not sure when that would be exactly if it is the case.
A friend of mine is getting a white one in August/Sept I think, so might wait to see that one first before finally deciding.
Guards red looks great on the standard GT3 ??

OK, something less wild then, but still fairly distinctive.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82aDO0MuYQ4
How about Audi RS Blue?

That 993 GT2 is an Audi colour. I forget the name, Naga or something?
It's RS blue I believe , you're probably getting confused with Nogaro blue which is a bit different (google image search to see).OP, as I understand it if you choose a colour that Porsche have used before then it shouldn't be much/any delay. The big delays are when it's a colour they've not done before, I.e. when they really are making a paint to sample (be that sample a nail varnish, or other manufacturer's colour etc), in this case they take months to formulate the paint and test it etc over a period of a few months before they're happy enough to paint and guarantee a whole car in the chosen colour.
