great pics, and love the GT silver with those wheels. The Xpel has already saved my paint on numerous occasions, good move.

GT Silver all be it a very nice color is in no way different to create compared to any other paint Porsche has to offer. Atlas Grey was once a standard metallic paint for ~$700, then one year it magically turned into a $3k color. All the same paint.

A few years ago I once asked an auto paint rep if there was any difference in makeup/metallic content of GT silver compared to Arctic Silver,...he actually looked up the mixing values and quickly said GT Silver would require less effort to mix up compared to Arctic Silver!

If you love GT Silver then indeed it is special to you!,....but to Porsche it's just another $2300 added to MSRP.
