I wonder if Zandvoort Blue will be kinda like Riveria blue?

They are a dime a dozen around here. I do not care for BG at all. Extremely bland in my opinion. Zero pop… edit, for a metallic color.

We'll have to wait and see how Zandvoort looks on the G87, hopefully it's nice but have a feeling it won't look as nice as many of the other blue uni paint colors

Agreed… BTW, these days IP varies from $5200-5500.

Well for the remainder of the 50th anniversary the paint is discounted $750. Not sure if this will translate to anything, but I think IP for a 2 GC is 3K before the discount. Maybe there's a small chance that'll be the price of the G87.

Zandervoort is kinda giving me Miami Blue vibes and I really dig it.

Miami blue looks nothing like that swatch

anitasanger · 06-26-2022, 12:28 PM

No blue swatch ever looks like real blues, especially Miami. What I mean is each swatch has an aqua hint, which harkens similarity.

EXE46 · 06-26-2022, 02:12 PM

Zan is bland, nothing like MB, the only correlation is that both are a variation of blue. Otherwise night and day difference...

anitasanger · 06-26-2022, 04:06 PM

Oh, yes, that Miami Blue swatch is downright mystifying. I bow in awe of its transcendent glory! What an inane argument.

Originally a Porsche color. Several photos of 911s painted in it.

dantm3 · 06-28-2022, 09:47 PM

Interesting enough I found touch up paint on eBay.. might order it just to see what it looks like

anitasanger · 06-29-2022, 09:55 PM

It kinda looks like Porsche's Gulf Blue to me.

Miami Blue is one of worst Porsche blues.

It looks okay to me. I personally would not order it. I like Voodoo Blue better.

Laguna Seca Blue

Voodoo is a 1000% better.

Maritime Blue another PTS favorite.

StickyPickle · 06-30-2022, 11:30 PM

Voodoo would be the move for me on this car, it's the perfect blue imo

I have another shade of individual blue in mind for my G87. Voodoo is on my list though.

Speaking as somebody who has seen the colour in real life. It is NON metalic (uni-paint) and it is really bland blue colour. Hyundai i30 N Performance Blue is probably the closest of production cars...

anitasanger · 07-12-2022, 07:27 AM

Bland in regard to paint is highly subjective, thus wholly irrelevant. Greater/lesser pigmentation ratios of white or cyan hardly qualify something as visually thrilling.

To my eyes, that Hyundai color looks really close to Porsche's Gulf Blue, which I really love!

Lots of folks crap their pants for Yas Marina Blue, yet I find it rather blah, perhaps, like Zand looks to you. And my blah is another man's swollen pickle.

Well…

. Hopefully there is a least one or two loud and unusual paints available without having to wait for individual paint to become available.
