If you could choose any color-how would you paint your car?
 

I'm getting ready to have my sc painted, it is currently an ugly brown 81 targa. authenticity is no concern for me, but It will be a Porsche color, somewhat 80's but I really don't care if it is "period correct"

I've narrowed the choices to,

-Midnight blue

-Carmine Red

-Maybe Polar white


Opinions are like*** but I'm curious to hear folks thoughts!!

Go with midnight blue...

silver over black
I may just do that one day

of the three you want
go with white

Gulf Porsche

Everyone knows you can't go wrong with guards red;)

White!
 

Hi, my 74/75 has the Chocolate Brown colour...
It is a real seventies coulour, that's for sure! In the autumn it looks great out in the open with the colurs of fall... And, well some of my friends really like it!
It is very different in colour from most 911's here in Norway, never seeen one in the same colour "live", probably never will! It sort of grows on me...

The Gulf inspired car is a clear favourite of mine and would be my choice, if possible!

From what you listed, I would choose - WHITE!:)

hey Ole,
I lived in stavanger for three years, loved the country.

Of your choices, I would personally pick midnight blue.

If I was in your position, I would pick a unique color. Something factory, but rare. I've always though the dove gray cars of the late '60s were cool, along with that desert tan they had for awhile (think the ducktailed, turbo-bodied car in Excellence awhile back). For "fun" colors, I love Continental Orange, Viper Green and Mexico Blue.

It took me many years to find just the "right car" with just the "right color paint". My taste was finally satisfied with a Guards Red, Cabriolet, with black all leather interior. I guess that I would be partial to the Guards Red cars.

Mexico Blue, same color it was originally.

And yes, it will be returned to this color when I can get around to it. . .

(not my car, and mine is a Targa, not a Carrera, but you get the idea).

those are cool colors in that picture don't get me wrong
but the first thing that comes to my mind when I see those colors on a 911 is jellybeans

ducks for cover...

+1 on the Gulf Blue,I get a huge amount of compliments on the colour.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1199905946.jpg

How ugly is the brown? If you haven't already, I would take a look at a few cars that had a color change to decide whether the color change isn't uglier than the brown. The details on color change cars are usually ugly in their own right. Just my $0.02 worth.

Back to the original Conda Green!

Ugly Brown?
 

Your opinion is appreciated, but Chocolate Brown is far from ugly IMHO. Its period correct and a color created by Porsche. Just like M&M's . . . everyone has their favorite color.

What color is the interior? Assume black since you didn't say.

I like Silver Metallic, but not w/ brown or tan interior.

Love Mexico Blue....

Sorry I wasn't clear. I think that brown is fine. I owned a metallic quartz (light brown) targa with a brown interior for years, and I loved it! I still miss it, too.

I do think that most color changes are unattractive, less attractive than an original brown paint job, no matter what you think of brown.
