Did you miss the answer? I don't know....


Actually, I'm getting tired of the concern for "original color". Who cares?
For me, automobiles are a joyous pursuit. There is indeed a faction in the car community that believes you should maintain the original color at all cost even if you hate it.
I'm of the belief that you should customize your car to reflect your own personality and taste. It's the difference between Concourse gismos and the true hot rod enthusiast. I drive my cars and how many points it might score at a show or what it might sell for later is not my primary concern.

I've owned my 914-6 for 25+ years and when it came time to paint it, the original color was only a cursory concern. Ferrari Fly Yellow on a Porsche?
Oh the huge manatee!!!!!!
