Dream Colour
 

Ok....this is your chance....if you could have your Box in any colour what would you have....and why? :cool:

Dupont Fleet Metalic Pepper Grey... painted by the boys that paint Boyd Coddingtons rods.

I liked that rolex green boxster a lot. But other than that color.... itd be either Imola red (BMW) or a royal blue (a super shiny plasticy looking deep blue).

I love the Zanzibar Red! :D

I love my Carrara White Boxster color...but someday I want an orange Porsche!

_______________________

Boyd COddington Red. I hear he has a patent on the color through 3m or DuPont or such.

You can patent a color?!

Im with you.

Orange all the way.......maybe not for the Box though

Depends on my mood. I always like black/black, but I hate caring for black paint. Today, I like this Carmona Red, but I'd want mine with black top and interior.

I'm not a patent lawyer but I think you can. It's not so much as patenting the color as the composition that makes the color, or something like that. Heck, I don't know. It's a brilliant color. Bright red with a hint of organge, I think.

You can patent colors. Hence you cant paint your car police blue, ferrari red, lambo orange, ect... You have to own a lambo and get the paint from the dealership to repaint it. You can get around this... But only if you own a lambo dealership, lol. (or a lambo and use the paint for a different car)

Hi,

I probably go for the 24Karat Gold Plated Boxster like the one Visualis commissioned goldsmith and artist Bernd Hoeger to create. I understand that one of the Princes of Brunai now owns it. Imagine the vandalism this would attract...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

yeah, that is pretty classy. It needs jewel encrusted rims though to finish off the look.

Yeah, that makes sense.
Avarus animus nullo satiatur lucro

No question here.


The charcoal-like, metallic black...is it called basalt?


It's gorgeous.


Probably not as hard to maintain as regular black.

You can get them from Asanti

Black, non-metallic.
Each time I see a nicely detailed car in black I appreciate that model a bit more than before. It rarely happens with any other color.

Well...so far Im with Orange....we need more COLOUR!! :troll:

Its not my fault its big, I sent a resized image way before you said that. So thanks for bringing it to my attention. It will be fixed whenever Rkwei gets to it.

Aubergine - because I had a '72 911T that colour -- and I'm color blind and thought it was BLUE.
Now I have Cobalt and know IT is BLUE :D

:cheers: Ed

CHROME

I'd like to get my boxster painted dark gun metal chrome, when the paint looks like crap in 10 years.

CHROME

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.

yes you can patent a color, ferrari red is like that, its a violation if you paint a non-ferrari that color

Btw, Rx Coupe rocks.

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.

well being that I saw this car after the boxster, and I love superman, maybe Krypton Green, but I am very happy with the white......hey DJ, get to work on a photoshop boxster in this color :)

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

you gotta go Phoenix Yellow, a special color on E46 M3's. It is the best color ever. it would look super on a box. Yea?

Take a look at the pic. BTW, most BMW people HATE the color. I dont get it. Kind of a yellow darkened with gold? I am not sure how to describe it. But in person it looks stunning.

I guess maybe not everyone wants their car to stand out like that.. I always kinda liked how a porsche wasn't so overly noticeable.. until you step on the gas..

Plus I know those bright Lambo colours will attract the cops haha...

But i went to the grocery store last night and saw a white Lotus Esprit... man it look so cool! So low! Better than most new supercars for sure!
I think you said you had one MN Boxster? If a car looks good.. it looks good, no matter what colour...
Well.. except maybe baby puke yellow/green :barf:
(Not referring to the bmw colour, that's pretty good)

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

I really like the cobalt blue metallic, but I have never seen it in person. If I bought another Boxster, I think I would have to go with the basalt black metallic...

Nick

Cobalt is a very cool color!:

Orange, orange...orange:

Hi,

I'm not at all averse to Orange. I like Porche's orange, and the late Mopar Competition Orange. Lotus Chrome Orange (sort of a metallic Orange) is also a very nice color and IMHO, would look great on the Boxster. See a couple examples below

I like that orange alot! too bad there isnt an orange carbon fiber that looks the same as that..


I also love this pearl metallic tangerine orange
