Continental orange
 
I am not sure if mine is continental orange or some other type.
I bought it 6 years ago and of course I have no idea how the colros was 25 years ago.
I about to paint it now and I would rwally like to see how the original paint is. My paint is really faded right now.
Anybody got anything similar?http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1169728889.jpg

Here is a pick of my "77 in Ice Green Metallic. It is tough to tell but it has a glass finish and has never seen wax in 4 years. When the restorer painted it for me he put on about 12 coats of clear. He said just a good buffing once a year is all I need.

Leaf Green is a pretty un-common color. Changes to several hues of green depending on the lighting conditions.
One of my favorites :D

Peru Red
 
I've seen a few Peru Red 911's in the Seattle/Portland area, but just a few.

Well, guess it's not a 911 but it is a custom paint job on a Porsche www.officialjanis.com/porsche.html http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1169758594.jpg

Fun thread to read:)

Re: Peru Red
 
Man, there is NOTHING as nice as an early car in Leaf Green. I like a lot of the early colors a lot - Irish Green, AUbergine, Signal Orange...but Leaf Green has to be my absolute favorite.
