Do you ever wish that you just kept your mouth shut?[&o] OK... I'll admit it... there are a few green ones about, and some of them actually look ok in it too...
(Still think black is best)

Titanium is obviously the best colour. Unless you want to buy my Lux in which case it's Guards Red, of course. []

My Wife had the Dark Red GT with all the Black stuff on an F Plate many years ago, in fact I found my pot of AutoGlym Bumper black I bought for it and used it on the 944 at the weekend!ORIGINAL: wolfie308
And to show I'm not biaised(much)...here's a pic of the dearly beloved and present in background taken 5 years ago [
Note the original styling with those large amber indicators [

I have Sapphire Metallic which I like but for the hopefully forthcoming restoration job I'm sorely tempted by Cobalt Blue Metallic - at least one guy on here has some great pics of this colour on his car.
EDIT: OOOOOOhhhh! Posted without reading the whole thread. Just seen the big blue thing above.
What is that Neil? I like it!

Scotty - All I can tell you is that is what the 'computer said'. Readings were from the "Rollers of Truth" at Silverstone, and there were 20+ other 944's there on the day. I have the graph somewhere if you're interested, the exact figure was 221.9 IIRC. FWIW, the year before it achieved 206.4 and that was before the de-cat.
0 - 40 Oil and 99 RON petrol all helps as well.
Maybe someone else who was there would like to comment on the output from their car on a separate thread? My own view is the Dyno was reading a few % high on that ocassion
So maritme was a 944S/2/Turbo Colour 1990 onwards? Nice

ISTR its very rare on Factory road cars but was one of the colours used. In the end I decided to go with Maritime as it was Kevin Eacocks suggestion. He had Lali's 968 in the workshop, I loved the look of that but my head kept saying a race car should be white. Then I went to the first PCGB race at Donny and every single one of the 964's seemed to be white, and many of the other cars as well. Overall I would have said that half the field had white cars, then Kev told me that the last 6 cars they have done all white. I have to say I am very happy with, it looks absolutely fantastic in the flesh and in many ways is a near perfect colour for a race car as its very heavy with pigment, hence you need less paint to cover the car. That shell has 5 litres of colour and 5 of etch primer on it, Kev paints em everywhere he can get the paint so unlike a factory shell it has a proper even coating of paint inside and out. If it was just the external surfaces I bet it would have been only a couple of litres of colour.
