    Picking A Color

    I've seen a lot of discussion about paint colors and the appeal of various interior/exterior combinations. My car is a daily driver and getting little paint chips in the front is pretty unavoidable without using a bra. On my current 986, I considered the relative ease of touching up a non-metallic color and bought Speed Yellow. What do you guys do?

    White Porsches with black interiors are the fastest. That is historical fact

    You get another benefit with a white Porsche. The primer underneath is white, so nicks and rock chips dont look as unsightly until they are touched up.

    Touching up (got a black one). Looked at the bra and decided against it in the end.
