That color looks great on the Boxster. While I like the darker blues, I do miss the light shades which are much lower maintenance to keep shiny (plus hide those little chips on the nose so much easier).

I saw a light blue/silver color 996 in Stuttgart in July that was a paint to sample based on an older Porsche color. It reminded me of the blue/silver that VW uses on the Passat and Audi on the A6. It looked different in every light.

Oh well, paint will have to wait as my winter projects for the 98 Boxster will most likely include ROW 030 suspension modifications and 3.4 engine swap (50/50 chance at this point).
