Need help with 996 TT color choice

[Evolunchbox]

As much as I love the Bumble Beast theme, I think I need a change with the 996. So I need all of your automotive expertise, eyes, and help. What color and scheme do you guys like and/or recommend for a Porsche 996 TT?
At first I wanted to do a flat army green with flat black on the hood, roof and trunk to tail. I've seen it before and it looks pretty unique. Then I looked at a matte white and matte black scheme that was nice. Post some pics of what you are thinking. All help is greatly appreciated!!:cheers:

bright candy red with matching 22 inch wheels with spinners























but for real I would say black on black

[CHADbee]

I say matte gunmetal grey with matte black accents. Stealth fighter theme.

I say a pic of the car would help a little.

Personally, matte blue from the LP640 Lamborghini would look awesome. Here is a reference pic:

Something with clear. Anything with clear. Also I guess at the mention of this thread...I wont be seeing the car anytime soon?

Chad: I'm feeling the stealth fighter theme. I'd like to see it first but I get the idea. Do you have any pics of rides like that?
Mach: There has been serious delays on getting my car back from AWD. Plus I never came to Atlanta the other week...long story. I'll keep that "clear" in mind lol
Bacon: That matte blue is really nice. Maybe that with the matte black hood, roof, etc..??

Thanks guys keep them coming!

I've been a real fan of the matte finishes lately but I can see it being like a tattoo that I'll absolutely love now and hate a few years down the road. None the less I like the fighter them mentioned above.

[allout13]

rust it!!!!










JUST KIDDING

I'm a fan of purple, so how about Techno Violet with hyper silver or maybe some gold rims?

I never understood the obsession with matte finishes :dunno:

[Bacon]

Matte blue body, matte black hood trunk and roof, and a dark finish to the wheels.

Matte Black with Candy blue flames

I like this idea without the flames but color theme

[Bacon]

Not even remotely the same car as yours but this should give you an idea of what the color would look like :dunno: Two different shades though...

Matte black is played out. Everytime I see a car that is matte black, I think of another shitty Honda.
I like the matte blue idea though.

[Z32James]

Matte black is played out.

Pretty much this.

And pretty much that.

[Z32James]

Another clean example :3 I'd also add that some lightly smoked lights would really set it off.

Oh mah lanta, matte blue CGT is my new fav porsche, but as for the 996 i vote the orange posted above

All great examples. Thank you. I like the orange and black combo. The rivera blue is nice. The army green is awesome!

I like this white: http://www.skinzwraps.com/images/Florida/Skinzwraps%20Stormtrooper%20White%20on%20an%20Audi %20R8%20in%20Miami,%20FL.jpg

[skacore]

laguna seca blue from bmw is very nice

[Z32James]

Hehe, I want that color white for my Z. Still rockin' the factory pearl white.

[MaxJav9669]

Yeah, flames are more for Domestics, mabye Sidestripes or C-Stripes

Or Audi Suzuka Grey...hard to find good pictures of this color, it was a special order color for the S5 and the R8 (and I guess with Audis individual package any car now, but that was where the color started). It needs to be seen in person. It has a flatness to the color, but it still has a clear, just not much depth in the color. Hard to describe, looks like a very light grey in sunlight, darker in the shade. Very cool color IMO.

If you are going to do 'matte' finish, do an overlay vs. paint. If painted, its hard to take care of and hard to match later on (even with the same paint). Also, I noticed it scratches easily. First hand experience here... Wrap it!

I agree with that 100%. I was actually looking into a wrap. But it's hard to find someone you trust.

[roxie911]

Carrera White always looks fantastic on a Porsche. If I had that option, I wouldn't hesitate.

I'm not into the whole matte thing going on. Plus, white leaves a lot of options open as far as color schemes go.

The Rotiform Porsche I posted was a wrap job. :goodjob:

It would look alot more "sinister" if you tinted the red part of the tail lights, and had black wheels.

I like the dark greys myself but here are 3.

Oh mah, do the standout, pleeeeaaase, that's so sexy :goodjob: :goodjob:

[jdmdb8itr]

if u going do a matte, do it with clear with flating agent. that way its protected.

id say do a compo, like do a matte battleship gray with a gloss battleship gray with a hint of black. it would be a shade darker,and the colors will stand out more.

i painted a car a few years ago that was matte black bottom and gloss on top. looked sick.

the matte battleship gray is a sick color, id do that
