What color would you paint the RSR+?
 

Vote for the color you think would look best on the RSR+.
The previous RSR+ vs 993 poll has me curious how it might look painted on the street w/o lettering.

It has black window trim.
For street it could have a duck tail and a second hood with the black Cibie lights.
Car sees 85% track and 15% street use.
Vote or offer other colors.

Here are 3 colors possibilities.
Anyone able to photo shop these colors onto the primered beast?

Sunoco Blue, solid blue no yellow.

Vintage gold.

White again maybe just with the stripes.
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1138127232.jpg

That format = white or black.
For the Love of God, no gold. Even blue would be funky.

Paint if something funky.

Flat charcoal black

Why only three choices? Viper green? Tangerine? Gulf blue / orange? Where are all the "real" 70s colors?

For lack of other cool colors, I voted "other".

George

Speed yellow or Viper green, or maybe Mexico blue

I wanted to voice my opinion on WHITE again. Can you say BOOOORING!? Delivery vans and the exterminator truck are white, not race cars! :D

George

I've been thinking of picking up a project car to do, and my current list of favorite colors: Mexico blue, Gulf orange, Viper green, and some sort of flat silver. You've got a long-hood, so go with one of those colors we hardly see anymore.

Mexico Blue is taken! sorry :p

I like these other ones...

Tangerine!

George - I take exception to your thoughts on white!! This aint no stinkin' delivery van!! Ok, maybe I'm a little partial to white :)

Intense, vivid green

Lilac purple ('73)? I'm not sure if that is the right name, but it looks like this:

Personally, I think this color would look incredible on your RSR+...:p

It's gotta be something different. This is a unique car - it has to have a unique color. Maybe Olive Drab like Ruf's "NATO Porsche"?

Of course, I've always been partial to Continental Orange...

Mike

True, while delivery vans are white, it does not mean that white vehicles are therefore delivery vans. :D That's a nice car. Would even be nicer if ... ;)

George

How about leaving the Dalmatian Racing Undercoat. Its unique - no one else will have it. :-)

Gold would be my least favorite, but I'd still ride with you anytime!

Check out this thread for some more ideas:

I'd say why remain conservative?? Go for it! This blue / violet looks pretty cool! The other jelly bean colors are in the above thread.

White is simple and nice, but why not make it WILD? If you are sticking with the widebody RSR theme, may as well make the color period correct, too.

Here's an interesting sample:

you don't want the guy driving his bentley to look in his rear view mirror and think, "ho, hum, another one of those porsches..."

you want him to scream in a shrill voice, "WTF is that on my ass?!!" as he drives into the median on the 5.

color should be bright, bright, BRIGHT!! viper green or orange...

say hello to jae.

Wow. I love those.

Curious: are those all shots of the same car with different paint, or is that a team with nearly identical builds, or a club, or...? More info please! I love those colors, and the builds.

nope those are pics of the original IROC race... different cars and different drivers... check this link for more infos....

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/show...threadid=261438

I'll fish out another link...

There are some more info about the IROC 911s here

http://www.mlodeent.com/IROC/iroc.htm

Short list: Mexico Blue, Pastel Blue, Signal Yellow, Conda Green.

Martini livery is at home on an RSR. Olive would be cool too!

...without a doubt, Sepia Brown :)

light yellow

Great links 911teo; thank you.

Wow. So THOSE are the original IROC cars.

I feel like such a noob.:eek:

Those colors are so beautiful and the lines on those cars perfect.

Sunoco is fine, Shell is great, Martni is also good, but I love the Jagermeister cars.

Ted, I always liked your car before...so I might revise that theme. Its funny how your car has gotten wilder and now you want a street paint job. Please.....no gold unless you put a flaming bird on the hood. Call it Trans Am instead of IROC :=

followed your car a lot, my view is that you need something basic, you might be on to it with a white base, but with such a unique body and mods that you have my view is that you'll need a paint scheme that ties it all together. I'd second Craig's point.

Paint it tinky winky purple for all I care...just keep it out of AM class!!! :p

I vote Blood Orange. :cool:

Careful you'll temper my gold intentions. ;)

The interior will be a no glare satin black, like the window trim.

To me the wild colors are at home on the track.
It's cool when I can see my buddies Kawasaki green RSR anywhere on the track.

Yes the early 911 M&M colors would seem appropriate for a long hood car.
Already a bunch of Red, orange and yellow 911s.
I understand the earth tones but not an olive or brown guy.

A lot of nice blues.
Too dark a blue blends with all the black trim and interior.
A lighter blue would help the black contrast.

Metallic might be tough to match.
How about a vintage silver/blue like Chuck Miller's?

Gulf911 I did have an AM magnet on it at the TT.;)
Grosskemper asked me what class I was in?
I said "AM, I thought you (Steve) would be the last person to complain about that".
He replied "AM is OK with me".;)
It is AR1, so is Roland.:)

I agree! that paint is KOOL!!

I think this settles it.... The Martini livery is a MUST!

YES!

With "OTHER" winning the poll, something must be done to help.

What about an "ART" car. There were may bold designs in the 70's for the racing Porsches.

Or maybe cut loose and commision a graphic designer/artist to make you a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. Give the person some requirement/guidelines (i.e. G rated for public viewing)

Because we'll all give you our preference, which won't help you.

When the time comes, mine will be BRIGHT yellow, with large diagonal stripes. Orange, Red, Black. The front of the car will be Black, with a wide red stripe, followed by a narrower orange stripe, and the remainder of the car yellow. White graphics will cut across the colors. Kind of like a reverse flame job, without the flames. :-)

Yellow is cool.
