Help me pick a color
 

Ok collective trust of Pelican's..

Help me pick out a color for my project's paint job. The car is originally Gold (Casablanca Beige) but there is another car in our club with the same bumpers and same color and I want my car to be unique.

Interior color is Brown with Black accents.

I am not apposed to a modern color and have even thought of a full Carbon Fiber Wrap.

I don not want the traditional colors: silver, black, red, white...

Give me your thoughts and pictures..... SmileWavy

Well, I am very partial to the greys. Slate Grey is excellent. Also, Meteor Grey is the BEST Porsche color. :)

If you really wanted a great, classic paint scheme, you could go with the Gulf colors, or just Gulf blue. I think one of the best blues on a Porsche is Ossi. Ossi would look great on your car, with the bright trim.

The oranges and yellows scream "LOOK AT ME", but are very nice on the older cars. I don't know how nice they'd be on the newer cars. And if you have a tan/brown/cork interior, Irish Green would also look good.

The shape of these cars begs for a middle color paint, IMO. Which is why I think Ossi Blue is one of the best colors for a 911, with Slate Grey following a very close second.

Do you have a pic of the Ossi blue?

I do have a Brown interior with Black accents.

It would look pretty damn nice on your car. Take the black off the wheels, so that they are just aluminum-colored, and the whole effect would be great.

Brown interior. I vote signal orange!

Mexico Blue is always a good choice. Here's my Casablanca Beige '74 Sportomatic after a small transformation...

If you want to be unique on this board, you'll probably have to find a color from another manufacturer. I like to see colors on other cars and wonder what they'd look like on my 911. I've found a bunch, but forget to look them up by the time I get back in front of a computer! (Mental note…snap a picture next time.)

If I had a car with a brown interior that I didn't care about originality.

Olive green aaaaaaaaall the way!!!

I wish I could special order a SC in the color scheme.

Orange orange orange. Always works very nicely with any brown color.

Post a pic of the interior.

If I ever do my dream build, orange would be a finalist. So would viper green.

I don't know who this car belongs to but it's in my "saved" folder. Not sure the brown/black interior would work with it though.

According to recent PPG statistics less than 2% of cars painted today are green... I love the olive car above!

A few years ago the guy running a scale model store had some die cast Tucker's, offered in both Maroon and dark Green. He said that he sold about a dozen of the Maroon ones, and not a single green one. Said green was the hardest color to unload/sell.

zieglerot (brick red) metallic. was a special order color in 1983 and to date, including 5 trips to hershey, i have only ever seen one other 911 this color. mine has the brown w/ black accent interior as well.

Slate grey metallic.

Olive green looks great -- and would meld well with the brown seats.

Summer Yellow would also work well with brown, and is very rare:

Noting the dislike for the "traditional colors", Chiffon White 182 is really attractive, not your "standard" white, and is awesome with brown seats:
