While this may have been the case in the past, it is no longer true. The Porsche system, right now, is 'available paints on configurator', or 'PTS (Paint to Sample)' ~$13,000 - which is restricted to a list of pre-approved options, or what I call 'REAL' paint to sample - which has the requestor providing a sample and will begin at around $18k - AND apparently requires most of that paid for 'research' with no guarantee the car will be painted in the requested color.
As an example, if you wanted a GT4 in Viola Purple Metallic that's not in the 'PTS' approved list. So, it's a porsche color, it's been done on other cars recently - but still is not included in their $13k PTS option level. IF you needed it in that color, you'd be looking at the $18k starting point and crossing your fingers. I believe, as of today, if you wanted it in Porsche Ultraviolet, you're staring up at the same mountain. But if you want it in Viola Metallic, that's $13k and approved. |
That's interesting Dave. Explains why all the modern 911s I see are the same colors over and over.
