Thanks for the suggestion that brown is really clean. I am selling my rpf1s and currently are running a set of rays old school wheels identical to work equips. I'm thinking that brown with polished wheels or maybe keep my black rays? I gotta find a color code. Thanks again

Have you considered satin paint? That's the route I'm going but I doubt you'll be picking the color I'm doing so I'll share the idea;

Hot rods in satin (not flat, satin) are common enough for you to get an idea as to what it looks like. Also the '06 Kawasaki ZX6R (636) came in a satin blue and it looks amazing.

Well for the bay I'm most likely going to wait till I pull the drivetrain and I'll get some grafitti or custom setup. Not too worried about the engine bay just want to get rid of the Sebring silver. Satin looks good it looks like a semi-gloss flat look? I really appreciate the Porsche brown though. If I don't paint the s2000 that color I'm for sure gonna paint my 4dr that color. I don't think black wheels with brown paint would look good? I'll see keep the ideas coming thanks

Just another tip. Way, way back my mom used to have a 1980 civic hatchback. It was very similar to the Porsche color. I recall going to a Honda dealership in Miami with my dad and buying the paint kit. It was two cans ... That was back in 1985 ... i'll see if I can find a pic.

Here you go, this is a Honda factory color and it is very similar to the Porsche:

The Porsche color? I went to the Champion Porsche with someone that was ordering a 911 and I saw it there. It looks great.
