Now I know I am setting myself up here... But I have chosen to paint my '24 this color (see pics below). I think it is very 70's and kind of reminiscent of the yellow that I have seen some boxsters in. I say yellow, the wife says its orange - what are your thoughts guys?? (be nice)

Either way, she'll be this color (wth - name it if you want!) by the end of next week - the door jambs, hatch and engine bay may be done by Friday

My '69 911 was painted this color. It was not yellow and not orange. It is a factory color called Bahama Yellow. Think yellow dividing stripe on a street or NY license plates color.

My mom once decided to make okra for dinner. Unfortunately she's an English cook, not gifted with southern cuisine, so she decided to steam it.

Came out like green beans an elephant had sneezed on.

I think I like it in jambalaya (sp?) better...

Hey,

i like the colour.

The Mustard-Party is right,here in germany we call it " Senf-gelb"
Senf is german for mustard and gelb is of course yellow.

For my opinion it looks not 70 style, these creamy colours came up in the 80`s i think.

Stones saying, paint it black !!

Dude, Mandy already gave you the speech about that color! Especially considering the little 'un and the effluvia therefrom. Suppose it beats duck-egg blue, though...

How was your Christmas? Gimme a call. Oh, the rear sway bar mounts wouldn't have fit.
