hugh Posted 16June, 2017 Report Share Posted 16June, 2017 Seems like you need to employ a pig, goldfish or whatever to randomly select you a colour - they can pick race horses too supposedly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFX Posted 16June, 2017 Report Share Posted 16June, 2017 I've got a concern that the Signals look good on a narrow body car but are potentially OTT on a wide body car.I don't understand what yo mean..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelrik911 Posted 17June, 2017 Report Share Posted 17June, 2017 I think the RUF NATO green looks great on a widebody 911 :Save the pastel girly colours for the Boxster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pork Chops Posted 17June, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 17June, 2017 I think the RUF NATO green looks great on a widebody 911 :Save the pastel girly colours for the Boxster.Good robust feedback! I like it. I don't like the NATO though as I find it too dark, and too drab and I think in the end I'd get really sick of seeing it in that colour.

hugh Posted 17June, 2017 Report Share Posted 17June, 2017 Too much spinach can cause a similar colour on the way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vl gra Posted 17June, 2017 Report Share Posted 17June, 2017 I say stick with the signal but it's your car so pick what you like but be sure, cause the way ya going the car is going to end up having 4 resprays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pork Chops Posted 18June, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 18June, 2017 I say stick with the signal but it's your car so pick what you like but be sure, cause the way ya going the car is going to end up having 4 resprays Well it's funny you say that as the way the car is being prepared it can easily be resprayed without any real disassembly and no tell tale signs it was ever another colour. Reasoning is I plan to keep it for a long while and as you know there are lots of beautiful colours to choose from, so why limit myself to the one colour over the period of ownership? I reckon if the urge takes me a repaint every two to five years is no unreasonable. I like the Sea (Foam) Green.But all the latest colours are a little muted. Gut and Tit eh? We're a class act in this forum . Yes they are subdued but that was the point of them as I've unearthed plenty of loud options. I chose them with an independent mind but now I've seen a load of Singers and they're very Singer-ish...Not sure I love that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike-S Posted 18June, 2017 Report Share Posted 18June, 2017 Auratium looks very similar to Smyrna green, my Porsche builder mate in California has his own widebody car in Smyrna and it's a bit of a marmite one for me. Some days / lights it looks great, others it's a bit too muted. He's just done one in grey and another in orange for customers, I'm a huge fan of the orange but the grey's a bit drab for me, even with the Gp4 wheels he's gone for. These widebody cars should shout, not disappear into the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pork Chops Posted 18June, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 18June, 2017 Could be the only way forward! Auratium looks very similar to Smyrna green, my Porsche builder mate in California has his own widebody car in Smyrna and it's a bit of a marmite one for me. Some days / lights it looks great, others it's a bit too muted.

These widebody cars should shout, not disappear into the road.Mark Zurlinden? I know what you mean re Smyrna bit Auratium is lighter and a bit less prone to be drab IMHO. I think all wide bodied 911s with a fat stance and a loud zorst will have a lot of presence so I reckon all colours are OK. Just need to pick the right one (or ones!).

Mike-S Posted 18June, 2017 Report Share Posted 18June, 2017 That's him @Pork Chops, Marc's quite a backyard builder. Our wives work for the same company, we all went on holiday together a couple of years ago. Nice bloke, I get very tempted to have him build me a car....

Pork Chops Posted 20June, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 20June, 2017 Fuse panel turned up. No photos but the PMO TBs and the EFI systems are in hand too. Engine work / assembly should start shortly. Fuel pump sourced (thanks Russell) and clutch, flywheel and oil cooler, SSIs, calipers and rotors all ordered. Rolling chassis should turn up at Cairns in the next couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRPJ Posted 22June, 2017 Report Share Posted 22June, 2017 I think at how much your troubled over colours you should paint it black then you have the perfect base and wrap it every 12 months a new colour. Then the whole time its wrapped the paint is protected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the whole time its wrapped the paint is protected. Well, in concept that's my plan. Chassis in black and paint it a different colour every few years. Not a fan of wraps but that could be done I guess.But choosing that first colour, well that's going to be hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
