Best OEM Boxster color

[ekam]

Any metallic paint, which includes arctic silver, is an option.

No charge for non-metallic paint like white, black, yellow or red.

I'm partial to my slate grey metallic paint. I haven't seen any other Boxsters in that color, only 911s. Anyone else have slate grey metallic out there??

Personally, I think the definitive colour combo for the 986 is an early 2.5 in silver with Boxster Red leather.

Guards does look great, too, which is why I chose it.

I think the 986 looks great in a lot of colours, but it does need the amber indicators to work. The only colour I don't like on the 986 is dark blue, it's just so dowdy.

Yes, this is exactly correct. The fact that it's the combination I have is coincidental.

The best colour for a convertible is yellow. No arguments broached on this subject shall be tolerated. However, if you're asking what the most popular colour is, it's quite obviously silver. Just look at the classifieds.

And if you look at 911s, it's almost impossible to get a secondhand 997 in any colour except black, grey or silver, at least in Australia. Rich people are pretty boring.

I specifically cot the 02 boxster s I have because it was speed yellow. Every car I looked at had flawed paint, so I figured ..... Get an original speed yellow and paint it again to look new!

2 weeks it will be done and I will post pics.

I am doing all the work. I got to know the guy down the road with a paint shop and I learned a lot. He let me use his spray booth. This weekend, he is giving me a key to his shop so I can come and go as I please. Very cool!

I am also painting the center console as well.

Guards Red was always my first choice hands down UNTIL I found my 2000 s Basalt Metalic Black with Boxster Red interior. Maybe a bit hard to keep dust free but on man! What a joy when detailing is done!

So, I vote Triple Black or Metalic Black.
