Black, Black Metallic, Meteor Grey

Guys,

Im having some issues, approaching lock down date here.

I have ordered Black with exterior Black out. Which I thought would look really good.

My first CS was Titanium Grey which was nice.

Now I have read that some of the guys got the Jet Black Metallic which may hide dirt a little, and the meteor grey looks really good as well.

I am tempted to pull back on the exterior black out on the window ring as the chrome breaks it up a little, but I like the stealth look of the Black on Black..

Any opinions on why you went the way you did, posting large pics of Metallic Black and Meteor Grey would be helpful.

I'd go with either Meteor Grey or Metallic Black. Jace and w00tPORSCHE have some great pics of their Cayenne's in those 2 colors, with the silver window trim- search for their threads. Black is always classic and a great color, but I'd be weary of the swirl marks. The other 2 colors are a bit more forgiving.

I love the $150 option for the black window trim, really cleans up the look IMO, but it's a personal preference. My only exception is if you have the aluminum roof rails, have a dark ext color, or the Turbo II wheels, but I'd still always opt for the black trim.

The exterior trim painted black makes my pepper look much sleeker,streamlined and stealthier

Here's mine. Jet Black with regular silver trim. I love the contrast between silver and the black and that's why I also have the front and rear steel plates and the running boards.

Looking good, but I should say that I like meteor gray very much on this car and it would be a selection to look at if considering other options.

I was really torn between the JBM with the blackout package and leaving the silver accents and adding skid plates, running boards and roof rails. I ended up going on the dark side but I think the look No92 has is pretty slick too.

As slw23 pointed out, nothing comes close to pure flat black but the JBM will hide swirls to some extent and black won't. Many here will tell you if someone is as **** as I am when it comes to paint finish then JBM or MG is the way to go when compared to black unless you want to be spending more time polishing the paint rather than exploiting the thrills of driving a Cayenne. Please check my elaborate thread on the w00tMOBILE options. slw23 is a lucky guy, he got silver .... he has very little to worry about in terms of caring for his paint finish other than of course the customary regular car washes and wax or sealant twice a year. Here is mine

I just picked up a JBM w/exterior black2 days ago and could not be happier with the choice.

It's black but there is definitely some other hues in it depending on light and angle, very sharp looking and in just 2 days have already had a few comments on it.

My last 3 vehicles have been black so I am used to the maintenance issues of this, but JBM does seem to handle the dirt and dust much better.

Here are some early this morning pics I took, while out running around. In beautiful L.A., lol.

we have some cars that are pure black, and I love the look when clean, and I do love cleaning my vehicles, but you do have to spend alot of time keeping them looking perfect.
Since you're in Kansas, I think I would stay away from the straight black, bc you will get the snows, and ice/salt, and dust/dirt and you will have to clean it daily to keep clean.

JBM is so nice to look at, but I still think MY COLOR is the best, that's why I have it.

Get the meteor grey, alumimum roof rails, and front/rear to match the roof rails in color.

Check some picks of mine. You'll love it either way!!!!

pick what works best for you. Hey, it's not my car that you will have to be cleaning every day...

I'd love to see someone order a twin.

Meteor looks grey at times under certain lighting, blackish sometimes, greenish sometimes.
It's a very distinctive color and you don't see many cars the exact same color. Blacks are common jet blacks are less common and meteor is even less I have found.

There are some nice high-def videos on youtube that show off meteor grey well:

You can search for "2011 Porsche Cayenne HD" to pull up more high-def videos and add a color to the search.
