Is there a such color called Shark Blue on 2006 Porsche 997? It looks like slate grey but more blueish... I went online but it didnt have a such color as Shark Blue... Did they change on name?

 

Shark Blue Pearl
Paint code T45

It's a Chrysler color. Not a Porsche color in the database using that name.

MARINE Blue, however, is a current Cayenne color. As is Dark Sea Blue.

 

what do you mean by Crysler color?? is that a bad color??
does people not like that color?

 

It means that Chrysler paints its cars that color. If you want it, just tell Porsche - they'll paint your car any color you want... for a price.

 

I thought it had an option on the website with that color. I didnt know that was a custom paint. would it cost more? does people not like that color?

 

is this color called shark blue? or something else?

 

Who cares what people like - if you like it, get it.

They don't show a custom palette because it's impractical on the website. Porsche's paint-to-sample costs about $4500.

 

wow.. they charge $4500 for custom colors?

 

you probably saw atlas gray, this is dark gray with a blue tinge

 

Yep, and it's the biggest rip they do. It costs them NOTHING more than a few minutes of mix time and a bit more for wasted paint they cannot use again. But not 3-4k in waste.

The real cost of the paint changes for things like Seal Grey (a pearl) vs a standard like Speed or Guards or Black or White.

But they are happy to take your big money for a custom one-off color they will not paint again for a while.
