PTS Colour Choice

[RSVP911]

Hi there I need to choose a colour for an upcoming build slot for a GT3 and I’ve narrowed it down to the following :

Amethyst Metallic

Dark Olive Metallic

Oak Green Metallic

Forest Green Metallic

I’m really struggling as the images of each individual colour can look so different in different OL images / Videos.

I’ve had paint downs made but again, it’s very difficult to imagine a whole car from this.

Basically, going round in circles

I was wondering that if anyone in the East Midlands has a 911 in any of these colours, if they’d be willing to let me very briefly see their car - if so please can you DM me - thanks

Amethyst:



Dark Olive



Oak Green



Forest Green

Here are three - first in shade, last two are in light - however they don’t really look like this in reality - hence my issues with OL images / needing to see in the metal

Order left to right :

Amethyst / Dark Olive Metallic / Oak Green Metallic/ Forest Green Metallic

Still can’t understand why the entire front number is not painted? rather than a slab of plastic.

Agree - this is why, whatever colour I go, I’m going dark as you will hopefully “lose” some of the plastic

Just get the plastic painted body colour - simple.

Damm - can’t believe you’ve found my “what colour” thread - more evidence I’m not a real petrolhead - bugger !

Really not sure,but it’s definitely one of the darker ones .Owner specked it so it matches one of his Hypercars.
I am sure if you phoned Hatfield they would tell you colour.

Having spent some time with an Oak green spyder this week I can confirm that it looks f’ing stunning in all lights.

Hi chap, thanks. I really like my Oak Green swatch when it looks “grey with a slight green tone” but in certain lights it can look “overly” green - is it properly green in the metal ? Thanks

Looks lovely in that shot - do you know if the owner is East Midlands based by any chance ? Thanks

Congrats on securing a PTS GT3 allocation.

Oak green one of my favourite Porsche colours and what I'd choose on a 992GT3 Touring.

I've assumed you're getting a winged GT3 and in which case I'd plump for Amethyst Metallic. Its truly stunning in all lights.

There is a guy on Rennlist who posted pics of his GT3 in Amethyst. Trouble is I'm too lazy to find this thread but when I do I'll post a link.

Cheers Taffy - yep it’s winged - tbh I prefer them winged to touring

I wouldn't take any fashion advice from JC as he seems to be limited to Black only.

He’s a very “on point” man of fashion is JC

Lovely - is that shot representative ? Cheers

OTOH this Dark Olive is rather stunning especially with Cognac interior

It is nice but I think that’s just “Olive”, I’d be going Dark Olive Metallic which is a different Olive

RSVP has your PTS slot been delayed at all?

My 2022 PTS GT3 build slot was bumped to next year.

I’m not sure tbh - I swapped a normal slot that I think I would have had by now for a PTS slot which they said could delay it up to 4-6 months, to which I said fine. They did say it had moved to 2023 now that you mention it, but also said that means it will still be in delivered in early Q3 this year - I don’t really get why a 2023 car is delivered in 2022 but I think that’s a “thing”

I’m glad I haven’t had to lock it in yet as I’m still non the wiser
