I previously had a white 987 Boxster and nearly chose white again for my 991 Cab; but didn't due to deciding there were too many white cars about. So I chose Guards Red. But, I'm missing white! So I'm wondering: Should/could/can I have it resprayed white? What do the PH Massive think?

A wrap would be cheaper I'm sure, and can always be reversed...

It has already lost thousands through depreciation and a colour change will only add to the expense - done properly its got to cost getting on for £10K - and further devalue it so, IMHO, it would not be a great idea. PX it for a white one.

You're having a laff Ade!!? To respray it correctly would be a massive cost, both to do and future resale - if you've changed you're mind on the colour, either wrap it, or PX against a white S - at least you could then justify the extra cost (sort of!)

£10k? Crikey. I'll keep it a bit longer then, methinks.
