According to Zuffenhausen, my 997S is still the only 3AS one out there. It's a great color.

Zuffenhausen won't paint a color that they don't think will come out. They had rejected some 150 colors a couple of years ago because they felt they wouldn't come out satisfactorily. (Mostly a problem for light, non-metallic colors).

I already have a couple people lined up for my car whenever I get around to moving it along. So,--unique colors are very saleable. With the world population where it is, there is someone for every color.

This is linen metallic . I think it would look amazing on a Turbo or a 997S with an aerokit . It's an almost champagne color .

Custom colors can make or break any vehicle. The factors are skill, and of course color selection, then hopefully it is done right.

We have custom painted many Porsche to match factory or to be plain original.

Let me know if I can be of some help!

A factory paint job makes a significant difference in the value of the car. Even a complete color change by a competent shop will knock thousands off a car.

i have seen some dealers custom order special color. it is usually some type of bright blue, green, or orange. expensive option, but will be unique if not one of a kind. good luck! ( i have GT3 RS orange on my boxster. attracts allot of attention!)
