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’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.

Porsche Chesnut Brown Metallic
FWIW I love the Porsche Chestnut brown metallic!
Especially if you went with some black centered wheels like in the picture...

Jim is going to do a larger spray out for me, but I think I'm going to decide on the Porsche H8Z Chestnut brown metallic. Looks great in the sun and under shop lights. Flops dark in the shade, but so does every other brown I like. Seems closest to that Yenko Nova Cadillac color I originally think I had on the El Camino I got to drive in high school, without the reddish copper penny flop when the sun was not directly on it in the last pic here. To me it's hard to believe that the two Nova pics below are the same car. The Porsche color is like a more modern softer browner color than the first Yenko Nova pic. I need to make a decision and stick with it lol.
