where is the exotic paint jobs for porsche's
don't take me wrong I'm not for or against a wild paint job. i will be painting my Porsche soon and having been looking for idea and nothing really pops up for image searches for custom, exotic or wild/crazy paint jobs on porches.
I was thinking about getting a little bold with mine but I'm thinking I'll stick out like sore thumb among Porsche's lol I'm assuming its because its a mature sports car that purist's just don't dare mess with ? I say this cuz my son and I have created a really cool paint job for the Porsche on his need for speed game that would look really neat on my boxster lolololol just thinking out loud guys. any thoughts? |
If you mean exotic in the Honda civic street racing sense then, no there aren't many out there that look like this and I do feel it is because porsche is a more mature purist owned brand. 16 year olds can afford to put decals and a fart can muffler on their 91 del sol, but maintaining a Porsche probably isn't in that budget.
If you meant exotic in the Porsche color wheel, check out Mexico blue or signal green. There was also the orange color that was featured on the 08 special edition boxster. I love Mexico blue myself. In the end it's your car, do with it what you will. But don't be surprised if many porsche owners think it's loud and tacky. |

If I had to do something wild I would do a porsche racing inspired theme, nor the fast and furious or the hot rod flames are a good fit for a porsche, the only porsche that I ever seen with flames and looked good was a satin black outlaw 356 speedster

as far as porsche community purists... ya i learned in my first post on this forum that porsche guys like there porsche untouched lol its a sin to rock the boat here ... i get it lol i just figured most were over 60yrs old here lololol dont get mad guys just giving ya a hard time about your tudes with porsches ;) as far as what i meant color wise... candy metallic green looks great on the old muscle cars. lambo orange is a beautiful color and looks good on any car etc. i just dont see anything that catches the eye on porsches. i just bought silver metallic for my porsche but was thinking.. just thinking about maybe switching it up for something a little more fun.

Well if you want to be different here are a couple unique colors
Thunder blue metallic: http://germancarsforsaleblog.com/wp-...pse84d5221.jpg Spice orange (similar to what you posted above): http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog....-cooper-fd.jpg Laguna seca blue: https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7258/7...d53caf08_b.jpg Phoenix yellow: http://www.rarecarsforsaleblog.com/w...lowmiles1d.jpg Blue turqoise: http://rennlist.com/forums/attachmen...d-dsc03048.jpg Riviera blue: http://www.germansportscars.net/_con...tent_552dt.jpg Rosso dino: http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/...a0b2b804_h.jpg |
I like the Lava Orange that is on a small number of new cars. It is a very bold color. The other 'out there' livery I like is from the '84 Rothmans 953's that won Paris-Dakar that year. Two tone paint with stripes.

Love the Mexico blue.
For my silver 986, I really want to ghost the 986 on the rear trunk. Not sure who to see about this or exactly what I want, but it is in my project list. |
Hmmm... not sure where all the exotic colored cars are either.

I thought of you when I put up that pic of the caymans. love those colours. science says that the human eye sees bright colours as moving faster than they really are - good for impressing girls, bad for attracting law enforcement.
