Lapis Blue.

The wife drools over Pcars painted in that color. I like it more I think because of the car itself... she loves that color on most anything. Just as hard to keep as black though.

I was going to paint my upcoming boxster a pearl metallic tangerine orange, however I was unable to find an orange carbon fiber for sale to do interior highlights so I had to scrap that idea. The only orange carbon fiber I could find was a black/orange carbon/kevlar combination composite material and it does not look very good. if I couldve found a solid vibrant orange carbon fiber sheets for sale id do it but.. not possible.

I was also going to do a vibrant lime-green pearl metallic paintjob, but again ran into the same carbon fiber issue, could not find the right colored carbon fiber for interior highlights.

I did find some REALLY sexy WHITE carbon fiber, if I had a white porsche id definetly go for the white carbon fiber, thats gotta be sexy as hell.

So now im stuck with doing a pearl metallic vibrant blue as I found an absolutely gorgeous royal blue carbon fiber that will look absolutely incredible when combined along side black carbon fiber, aluminum-look highlights and black leather.

Metallic Black is the only color for me and that's why both our cars are black. As far as I'm concerned no other color looks as good when it's washed and waxed.

I have to agree that black is bad arse, but after owning 3 black cars and swearing to never own another one after each time. If I could have found a Speed yellow box when I was looking I would have owned one. I also really like what Porsche is calling Carmona Red Metallic, they used to call it something else though.

man black is soooooo boring, its like doing missionary style in the bedroom everynight, tis just boring as ****************

I dont really like Porsches factory colors, theyre all really boring colors, theyre the same kinda colors you'll see somones civic in, that aint cool, if your gonna get a car of this magnitude, you should have a paint job that helps make the statement of how awesome your car is

thats why ive always admired lamborghini, they have really really cool colors, porsche owners always get their cars in the lamest colors, the kinda colors a 50 year old man would find 'cool'. Theyre like grown up colors, lambos have the sexiest colors ever seen, really styling, really unique, really make the car stand out.

I dont know how you guys could want a black, yellow, red, or other lame color like that, comon man youve got a really kickass car, make your paint job resemble that

Blackkatt, the old color was called Carmon Red Metallic (code E4). Great color.
