}{arlequin, looks like your Dolomite picture....hard to tell from just a picture but it looks close.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1172529599.jpg

My color is also called Anthracite. In my case, it's a Mercedes color. I love the way it sets off the chrome.

Here's my '86 in Moss Green. Love how the color looks different from different angles.

Gemini Blue Metallic...

From the original color, to white in the 1990s, and back to the way she left Zuffenhausen after a near 2 year rebuild...

The yellow French H4's give the contrasting look I was going for!

Originally Guards Red. PO had it painted in a Ferrari black. Nero Daytona. A nightmare to keep clean, but very nice and shiny with a little effort :)

Original color Tangerine 1972 T

Yeeeeeess Felix6, my inspiration.

I like your style uscarrera. There was a 996 owned by a former Miami Dolphins player (i believe) that had a similar exterior Teal color, with Orange interior bits.

How about '73 Signal Yellow with Blue?

Not a 911, but I've only seen one other in this color.

1987 3.2 Cab in Espresso Brown Metallic

Never seen this paint color on a Carrera well at least in Europe Code 40Dhttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1508558633.jpg

Stand corrected I noticed on an earlier post, I must be the 3rd or 4th, all the well, its actually a pretty unique color.

I’ve seen other shades of green posted here, but don’t believe anyone has added lime green yet or metallic green or my soon to arrive Gemini Blue early long hood. Just love the vibrancy of the 70’s colors!

1983 SC Cabriolet in "Platin"

This has to be the most unusual color 911 I have ever seen. It belongs to a friend of mine who purchased it a couple of years ago after it had sat in disuse for quite a few years. It is back on the road and has been repainted in this same color to correct the paint (mainly clear coat) issues you can easily see on the hood. During the repaint the tail was also removed; big improvement in my opinion. They just don't look right on Cabs and Targas (personal opinion).

The history of the car is spotty, but it was a european car that was brought over, spent a lot of it's life in Texas before coming to Tennessee. The P/O had a vanity plate "DATEB8," which sort of explains why he had it.

The paint color is "Platin," and the Porsche paint code is 971-9-3.
