Colour change....questions

[mcelliott]

My beloved 911 SC Targa is currently undergoing a restoration. We're barreling nicely through the oily bits and now my attention is starting to turn to the bodywork. Currently the car is painted in slate blue, but I fancy a change. I don't want to venture too far away from its original colour, although I'm not too bothered about resale value (she's a keeper). I was wondering if anyone's changed the colour of their classic Porsche and have any advice to offer. The interior is dark blue, so obviously I have to bare this in mind. Here's a couple of colours I'm looking at. What do you think?

Flannel grey (? - can't find paint code or any other info on this colour)


Crystal blue (kristalblau) I really do quite like this colour - do you think it would suit the 930 shape?

Yep, that's not bad, I'm open to suggestions. Maybe it's a little too dark. Decisions, decisions...

RS orange body work, Carrera side full length script in dark blue, targa top dark blue, turbo Fuchs polished rim with dark blue centres and caps with your original dark blue interior. Side targa badges orange. Front indicators orange lens, rear lens US spec all red with red indicators and orange bulbs. A 3.2 centre rear reflector panel with the intergrated fogs. No whale tail whatsoever. Perfect!

I'm just trying to visualise that and now think I need to go for a lie down!

Indeed it is a lovely car. Mmmmm, venetian blue, definitely a strong contender. Thanks for all the feedback.
