Help me select the color (cobalt blue or polar silver). Show me yours.

[Yellowbird RS]

After rebuilding the engine and the electric system, I will proceed to the upgrade and paint job.
My car 1974, 911 Carrera with yellowbird front and rear bumpers, 964 side rockers.
It was polar silver originally, and I cannot decide between this color and cobalt blue.
If anyone can post photos, please do. It will be helpful.

You don't need pictures.


SILVER!!!!

Silver is always a good choice. I like my blue one though. I think it's Baltic Blue.

[Jadams1]

Silver all the way!

I like my slate blue metallic... it's kind of a grey-ish blue. But I love polar silver. I would choose the polar silver above cobalt blue if given only those choices.

Cobalt blue is my favorite Porsche colour, but it is very bright and not for everyone. You might hate it. Silver is much safer.
Take a look at this cobalt blue 964:

By all means, SILVER.

My "S" is not cobalt blue but rather rivera blue. I could not resist posting a picture of both "The Blue Max" and my silver SC.

Here's my old C2 - Baltic Blue - which I think is one of the best blue colors of all time for a 911.





and I also say - unless it's a rare 1972 or 1973 s - paint it what ever color you desire - just do it right.

I'll put in a vote for Baltic Blue. You just don't see too many cars that color.

[JackS]

Here's my 25th anniversary silver Carrera. My vote for silver!

Rivera blue looks great in person. Here is a 930 in rivera blue

I need another pic. This one is getting old. Anyway, can't pass up posting pic of a blue car.
Pepsi blue.

That Riveria blue always strikes me....

...other than that, silver!

[Randy Webb]

Nobody is gonna mention Gemini?

Or you could make up a Gulf Blue that has metal-flake in it -- might be very interesting....

I love the sivler very sexy, my car is white which i feel is very elegant, but my friend car is Venitian Blue, which is a nice understated color which does not look flashy, it just looks cool and fast.
