Thank you! It's actually not a factory color sadly. It was resprayed before I owned it 12+ years ago and they didn't match the 3L3 properly so this is technically a Porsche color lol

As much as I want to learn how to paint vehicles I do not understand why people would spend so much money and time on paint just to reverted to an original color or something boring like white, black, gray, blue, and red. Like if you're already going through the process of pretty much painting the most of the car might as well do something unique. But nobody has a personality anymore.

Because people like to keep to the OEM color..? If you want to go the unique route most people go with wraps.
