Picking paint colors is the hardest decision. The copper-brown metallic is a gorgeous color. I really like your idea with the browns on your car. Think it will look stunning when done.

Thanks Doug. I agree, paint colors and wheel choice are both tough for me, with paint color being the hardest.

Don't laugh, Mazda has a color called Melting Copper on the CX70 or 90. I saw this last weekend. It's stunning. It may be too copper for you though.

I think the last two Porsche colors you selected look great. I'll keep an eye out. The Porsche dealer is less than two miles from my house.

That is a cool color. Need to see it in person.

That’s been my dilemma with a lot of the browns, bronzes, copppers… in a certain light they are amazing, but in regular day to day they lose the pop.
I think that’s where all the effort in the bodywork makes a difference.

FWIW I love the Porsche Chestnut brown metallic!

Especially if you went with some black centered wheels like in the picture...

I do too. Need to get a couple spray outs from Jim.
