911sc paint ideas

So I am thinking of doing some graphics to get some color on the car. Maybe some door graphics or maybe some outlaw style graphics. I’m so undecided. I need some ideas. Anyone have any? My Pegasus mirrors are coming tomorrow and I am going to paint them the body color Schwarz Metallic.

The hood is the same color as the deck lid. I am also going to change the deck lid grille to a mesh style shortly.

I am not sure this is the right place to post this, if its not, I apologize.

Here's an idea from the car in your "garage" photo. A PORSCHE side stripe in silver that would tie in the silver outside rims of the Fuchs along with some stripes on your trunk and corresponding stripes on the hood. Any good sign shop could do this with vinyl so it could be removed at some point without any damage to the paint. I'd recommend a matte silver vinyl though. the gloss silver doesn't look right.

Is this something you can give me a price for? I’m looking for ideas on what to do

I too was thinking of paint but then would have to redo my door sill graphics..but now looking at a wrap (3m) as an alternative, highly endorsed by many folks I know in the auto business...about 1/3rd cost of a decent paint job and I can get the porsche graphics as part of the wrap versus over top.

I've been thinking of side stripes on schwarz metallic as well, but since the color is closer to titanium than black, maybe a subtle gold color would look better than silver.

John player special cars looked great in that color combination.

Here's a nod to the John Player era...

Yes they did, this is Andretti's actual World Championship Lotus 79. Gold a bit lighter than the 911 above:
