It's technically not 'Mexico Blue' since that is a paintcode from Porsche.

This is Olympic Blue from Avery. It's about as close to Mexico as I could get.

It's hard for me to see a difference between Mexico and Riviera. Maybe riviera is a little more 'baby'. I was shooting for Mexico blue but maybe I screwed up.

Oh well, in 6 months I'll be back to black!!

 

Looks great man, I love different colors!

 

Oh and boom goes the dynamite !! Looking good, I can't wait to see it all finished

 

Now I just need some nice seats to put in it. Looking hard at the Recaro Toplines or the Rottec Carbon Reclining seats. I think it will pretty much finish the car up.

I have a nice Carbon Spoiler on the car, and putting on my carbon mirrors as soon as I get the car back.

 

Subbed for pics!

 

Dude looks so great with the gun metal! Such a cool way to freshen our cars up in a few days. Nice goin!

Have you driven it yet?

 

Have not driven the car since pretty much January. I had it for about a week between 1/1 and right now. Can't wait to have my baby back!!

 

in for pics too looking good!

 

Almost finished. Really not digging the tan interior with the exterior color, but again it's only temporary.

I'll have it back to black or maybe white in a few months!

Here's a few updated pics from the wrapper/wrapist, vinyl guy today.

 

That looks so good. How many hours went into the wrap? Did your guy remove a lot of parts to get it done (like bumpers, ect...)

Also curious about your plasti-dipping experience. I had mine dipped yellow (trying to match speed yellow) and it was fun for a little while, but the finish wasn't up to par for a car like this. I wanted my shiny paint back. So I spent the last 3 weekends bringing it back to normal. Getting all of the hard to reach details was very tedious. How did yours go when you went back to black?

btw here's a pic of mine wrapped...

 

Trying to get the plasitdip out of all the little crevices was terrible. I'm glad I went with a wrap, although this cost almost $2000 opposed to $450 with the plastidip.

I agree, the plasitdip is fine for 'lesser' cars but I think a Porsche deserves a little more care. If I can afford the car I can afford to do it the right way also.

So I plastidipped my Lexus..........LOL (just the badges)

 

Love that 993TT, but would have thought it's Blue Turquoise.

 

Looks very nice!!!

 

nice!

 

Here's a few shots from this weekend. Some are mine, some were taken by others at SoWo. The front lip met an untimely end, but another has been ordered.
