New blue paint What do you think?
Just posted pics of the new blue paint, exhaust, and rims. The titanium gray metallic paint started pealing. I had to repaint.
Anyhoo, your comments are welcomed THANX- daluvabull |

THANX for your kind remarks.
The blue looked better on the Porsche 911 that was at the shop. I liked the gray too. If I were to do it all over again, I'd have stayed with gray metallic. The blue is oh so hot in the Texas sun. Well maybe next time... Again, thanx |

I loved that Titanium Grey color. Not so crazy about the blue... but pay no attention to my opinion. Nice wheels. They look like Prodrives, but I was unaware they made them in 5x114.3 for those model wheels.
What kind are they? |

I really like the titanium gray! The blue is nice...almost looks black. Do you have the paint specs for the titanium gray (manufacturer and stock #)?
thanks -Bill

I saw that dark blue color on a 911 Carrera C4S the other day and it does look hot! Try taking some more pics of your car in the mid-day sun - it'll bring out the shine in the paint a little more!
Question, how much did it cost to paint your entire car (supplies & labor)? I may look into painting mine a titanium grey in the future! -Chike Quote:

Your paint is zesty. Looks good, but I'm partial to blue.
