In the early 90's I was looking at an SC that was 'copper'. That car sold before I could get it, but I still have a soft spot for that color as it was the first time the bug hit with any reality. ie, I knew I could actually drive the car of my dreams.
Anyone know what color that would have been? Pictures?

It could have been #443-Copper Brown Metallic.

How about Platimum Metallic?
I just got my car resprayed to the orginal color. As I was told, there is a slight variance from orginal. Sometimes lighter and sometimes darker. I ended up with the dark option and love it.
I would not have chosen it but do like the bad boy look. Still can't help but like Mexico Blue. There was a guy in the neighborhood that had one when I was a kid. I couldn't wait to see him drive by. ![]()

I'm big on tradition.
German cars should be silver Italian cars should be red British cars should be green etc. I'll always remember the first 930 I ever saw - silver w. black interior. If I had the need & the choice, that's what I'd go for on my black/black '87 3.2 coupe. That being said, IMHO dark blue is a good color. It especially looks good on a 911 that has chrome. This is largely based on long nose cars I've seen. So, of the colors you have in your original message for your SC - I'd go for the midnight blue. Last edited by dw1; 01-09-2008 at 01:23 PM.. |

I could beat my P.O. senseless with a codfish for EVER getting rid of that color. The car is currently black, which looks okay and all, but next to #336? No contest!
And boy oh boy has it ever made a lot of extra work for me trying to get it ready to return to its original beauty!

Just some info on paint codes. Say you have paint code XYZ, but when you get some, it looks off color to what you are trying to match, and you think the paint mixer screwed up... This may be due to sun fading, but most of the time, it is due to the actual paint code having multiple sub codes for the paint. I was painting a car a few years back, that actually had 12 different sub-code mix formulas, even though it was XYZ paint code, it had many different mix formulas.

If I was to change the colour of my 911 I would change it to guards red.

Not white. White is one of my least favorite colors for any car, but may be my least favorite for 911's. There was a white one I considered buying about 10 years ago, but it had spoliers, color-keyed fuchs and a red interior, which was a pretty cool looking combo. I personally think brown is OK, but many years ago a friend had a nice 79 coupe in brown, and it took him forever to sell and the main complaint was the color. Finally someone that said they didn't want a brown one bought it anyway as they knew it was in great condition.

If I could, and only if it would work (which it will not, I am told) I would start with a bright chrome or nickel plating over the entire body. Over that, I would put a semi-transparent coat of paint...just about any color would do. Any Blue wold look great.
Why chrome/nickel with a semi trans paint? When the light hits the car, the shine and gleam from it would be tremendous. Enormous depth and reflection.

Take a look at British Racing Green. Not a Porsche color but it should have been.

I used to have a '79 Targa that was silver with a brushed SS finish on the Targa bar and polished petal Fuchs. It was a nice blend of old & new. Unfortunately, it had a saddle interior...who the heck puts a brown interior in a silver car? If it had a black interior I'd probably still have it.

I Agree

Not a problem at all. My 74 is original Choclate Brown from the factory and I would never repaint it another color. But if I had a 911 and wanted another color, I think I would lean towards a Dark Irish Green.
