I think living in an area with extreme weather conditions inspires that sort of behavior.
Obsessive compulsive. But we all love it.

This is going to be the most beautiful sidecar in the history of motorcycling. Just sayin'...
What color will you paint the bike and sidecar?
Porsche's Yellow Saffron Metallic is incredibly lovely, but I can't find the paint code anywhere. I suspect since that color is an $11,500 upgrade on the Carrera that's it's a proprietary paint only sold through Porsche. .
And here's some more info on the Porsche Exclusive program:

That was interesting.
My Chevy has a tricoat color and had never looked up what that meant. The video explains it and I see the Saffron color has a extra Effect coat for a total of 4 coats, not counting primer.

Yes, it might be Paint to Sample. But I can post the question of the paint code on the Rennlist, if you like.
Today Miyagi-San called PPG Paints directly. Sad news. The Porsche Yellow Saffron Metallic I wanted is so completely secret that in the event an owner damages his or her brand new Carrera the work has to be done at a Porsche repair center with the paint coming directly from Germany...
So I think I'll use Nissan's Solar Flare Pearl as a base, but substitute medium aluminum for the fine aluminum it calls for. Should give more sparkle. Or maybe call House of Kolor and ask how their experts would give that color code more punch...
I'm wondering whether a good paint guy couldn't just mix up a batch of paint that was close to the Saffron Yellow, if you sent him a picture of that Exclusive Porsche.
With prices in the ballpark of $200 per pint, guessing can get expensive really fast!
