Terra Cotta Color

Getting close to pulling the trigger on a new speedster.I am looking at getting an original color and came across the terra cotta paint sample.Wondering if any of you have seen this color and your opinion.Also,your thoughts on either a black or saddle interior? Thank you for your thoughts in advance.Tom

Tom, Terra Cotta and black would be beautiful.

That's Rick Davis' car. It is quite beautiful but those pictures look much browner than it is in real life. It has a strong orange tone to the terra cotta.

Black would look fine, the gray in Rick's car is very tasteful. I would be tempted to go tan in the direction of the beige to fawn shades, but stay out of the orange range. I think the color for the interior should contrast with the orange in the terra cotta but not try to overwhelm it.

Oh, and that car/color is so much prettier in real life. It's quite gorgeous.

Luv it.

I think it is an orange coral.

not a good color for resale value

The paint on Rick's car is a Porsche color. "Orange POR 5711". As Angela said,Rick's car is absolutely stunning and very tastefully finished. I was lucky enough to get to ride in that rocket! Woo-hoo!!

Here is a pic of Rick Davis (ball cap) and his 911 IM staging for the Morro Bay Parade.

Thanks for the feedback.I am still looking at some different color combinations and hopefully will decide soon.

This is the color I decided on,#712 Auratium green in process now at Vintage Speedsters

Nice color choice!
