Bright Green 928 pics

BBX · 07-06-2009, 04:45 PM

Hi Guys,
I'm still contemplating what color to paint the car.
My first instinct is Guards Red, but honestly I have always wanted a bright green car.
I figure since I'm paying 10 G's for a paint job I might as well get something custom???

What do you think? Would a color like this kill the resale if I ever decide to sell it?
I like these two colors-
I found the Kawasaki Green 928 pic on Leo's 928 Forum, anyone have any more pictures of it complete?
The second car is a vette painted in Lamborghini Gallardo green. I like this color too.

Is this color too "risque" for this car?
Does anyone feel this color will "rice" the car out? (No offense, Ricer S!) I'm going with polished CCW 5 spoke wheels.

Thanks!
BB

Eeeeewwww........There's no arguing taste!

I would go with one of the "old" colors, which look spectacular...it is for the '79 I assume?

BBX · 07-06-2009, 04:57 PM

Yeah the 79. hahaha
No really, I have great taste. I just love this color!
More than likely the car will get shot red, but man, I just really want it to be different. I see so many Porsche car shows and it's like walking around a dealership... booooring.
You know?
Some guys do some really cool things, I like seeing that.

Go green, be different, have fun. Why else are we doing this stuff?

If you go bright green, I would AT LEAST go with a factory bright green like the early '90's Signal Green... At least that way it is a PORSCHE color that the could have at least come in...YMMV... Oh, I like the bright Signal Green too btw. No so much the Lotus looking color you have pictured, but it certainly is eye catching!

Going green is very in right now... go for it.

Well, you gotta have your dreams.

I remember this green 928 on this BB. I liked it then, and I like it now!

Somehow that green looks good on the 928 but the 'vette looks bad to me.

How about atleast staying within the Porsche family? Here are a bunch of Porsches green colors.. http://www.teamspeed.com/forums/pors...d-porsche.html

I love the original Linen Green Metallic color, I would love to see it on a newer style car.

BBX · 07-06-2009, 05:19 PM

That's a great suggestion stolorzj, plus James is right, the signal green does look nice. I have liked the color on the Carrera for some time

Stephencs601 · 07-06-2009, 05:34 PM

Well, you will be noticed no matter where you go. Sometimes good, sometimes bad.

The Porsche 914 has some crazy greens like Willow and Revenna. I'll see if I can track down a photo.
