Cool 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

I love the dark blue color and those rims look great! I kinda like the previous color though...titanium grey is my favorite color on a car!

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

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!

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