Pics of Porsches in custom ordered paint?

just wondering if anyone has pics of porsches, especially turbos, with "paint to sample" paints. I was thinking about how cool it would be to see one in the Lambo Orange Pearl color. I am always surprised that more people do not take advantage of this factory option.

I was just at Valley Motors yesterday and they had a paint to sample option on cab. It was almost like Lapis and Cobalt mixed.

I am aware of the Porsche orangish color (Carmon red maybe?) but this car was definitely a custom rust color - almost the same as that offered onthe diablo SV...

I think it was called Zanzibar Red. Definately a rusty orange color... Nice but not my cup of tea

Zanzibar Red

Here is a 911 I test drove in Zanaibar Red. I really liked the color. I don't think that it was very popular.

Mine was ordered from Porsche in Lambo's Titanium Metallic. I was deadset on Seal Gray until I laid eyes on this car... it was love at first sight. It has a lot of metalic in it. A deel rich tone.

Here's mine in Fly Yellow. Be prepared to wait though if you do the paint to sample option.... Once you find a color you like though, it's well worth it!!

Honestly, it was a toss up for me between the Zanzibar Red and Fly Yellow. That Zanzibar looks amazing in sunlight and being down here in Fl, we definately have plenty of that!!
