Nice problem to have. Coming from someone that has owned 2 GP White cars, I vote for Voodoo. It is a unique color and you will likely not see it on another aircooled 911. Also, it's difficult to see/capture the beautiful curves of a widebody on a GP White car. Why don't you just paint your car Voodoo and then ship it to me? I will send you mine. Woot!

I hear you, I'm not complaining that's for sure. I agree on the curves kind of getting washed out on a white car, especially here in the bright sun of Florida. I really think black is my favorite color for a wide body but I want to have something all together different for this car. I to have had 2 prior GP white cars, 1 being a wide body. This current build is my 3rd GP white 911 and 2nd wide body. Here is the 993 the day she left for her new home, I love this shot of the rear!  Here is the slant the day she left, both cars were GPW

My mother just stopped by and I showed her this picture Of Jeremy D arrow blue wide body and said it was my car and that its finished, LOL. She was shocked. She says blue makes a car look cheap and its not a good color for a Porsche. Says She prefers white as its classy and clean. I had another girlfriend who said bright blue cars look cheap and look like toy cars.
 I think I'm just going to flip a quarter and be done with it!

Lexus makes a fantastic silver that I always thought would look great on a wide body 911.
Think outside the box on colors and you'll be glad you did in the long run. Even a two tone with the roof being the darker color would look really good.

 A darker blue might look less cheap to your mom

Man, I look at white next to Voodoo and its just seem to boring for a lightweight wide body street/track screamer! I think my decision has been made.

Two things to consider about GP white. If you use old school single stage paint, you will be amazed how it looks in the sun light. The depth of the finish on my car is amazing. It can't really be captured in a photo when out in the sun.
The darker the color, the more any imperfection in the body will be magnified.

Great job on the fenders. Don't think you can go wrong with white or blue. Either will look stunning. It really depends on what look are you going for. Blue is BAM in your face... "Look at me cause I'm going to steal your lunch money." White is more subtle.

My dislike of all-black wheels comes from my youth. Back then, the only all-black wheels were the stamped-steel originals you put hub caps on.
So what hub caps are you gonna run Nippy?
