This is a Porsche TUrbo 3.6, painted in Signal Green. Made one year, 1994 and so far all my searches have come up empty to find another one in Signal Green.


So you either love or hate the color. Me I simply dig the car. If you're going to have an exotic might as well have it really stand out, eh?

I have no BEFORE pics as it was overcast the day I started and I have no AFTER pics in the sun as today it is wet and cold but I do have a few inside AFTER pics to show you all.

I hope to get some outside shots Monday when the owner picks them but until then you can get an idea of what the car looks like....and yea I know, all cars can look great inside and I'm hoping it looks just as good if not better out in the sun.

I used Optimum Polish over about 90% of the paint with various pads to level and polish the paint. It has 4 coats of Opti-Seal over a 24 hour period.

Great job on the porsche:applause: It would take awhile for the color to grow on me
 
Fantastic work, just fantastic. I love the 90s 911s and this one is no exception!
 
Anthony..superb as usual ...But the color of the Porsche really showed the quality of the Poli Seal...

Now if I remember correctly it takes about 6-8 pumps to do a car..and there is about 200 pumps to a ounce...so it looks like Poli Seal will go a long ways...is that correct..

That green looks so wet..looks way better than the Zaino CS shots I have seen so far...

Thanks all :)

Yes it takes about 6 to 8 pumps for one car.......which also depends on the car size and how heavy one is with the pump. Ron seems to use more product than I do so Ron would get maybe 10 pumps while I would get about 8 on this Porsche.

Also, it is "Opti-Seal" and not Poli-Seal. The Poli-Seal is an all-in-one product while Opti-Seal is just a sealant.

Thanks,
Anthony
 
Very nice vehicle, I really like the curves on it very nice. The color well don't know about the color but I really like the curves..very nice.

Thanks for sharing.
 
Sorry Anthony...I was having a brain fart..lol....I knew it was Opti Seal and kept typing Poli Seal

It looks like you did a great job but I can't say that I like the color to much.
 
Anthony, that's great work. I'm the wrong guy to comment on this paint however. I don't like any green but that one is truly terrible. :D
 
Anthony fantastic job..the color is one i wouldn't pick but looks cool to say the least the wheels look nice too..
 
Great job but ugghh on the color lol, if it were a darker green then I would like it, that's a weird off light color green lol.

That looks awesome....and I personally think the color is excellent! Definately a standout. WHat did you use on the spoiler...looks like it was bbrand new. AN how about the door handles...are those painted or plastic....super work!
 
Wow great job man. The only Signal Green so far ey? That thing stands out.
 
Beautiful work, the paint looks wet. The color, I just don't care for that green. But it's wet wet wet green! Thanks for sharing.
Opti-Seal? I don't think I've heard of that. I use Poli-Seal time to time, and I must say I like it a lot. You can even mix it with OC 50/50 and works great. So Opti-Seal is OP's sealant line I take it?

Thank you. The rear spolier was cleaned and then some Zaino dressing was applied (can't remember the name). The Zaino dressing must have some type of cleaner in it as it pulled black from the spoiler.

The door handles were done with Poli-Seal along with alot of the rubber trim pieces. I also used Poli-Seal to remove the fingernail scratches inside the door handle cups.

Well so far....it appears to be a very UNcommon color on Porsches across the board, for any make and year. I've had some Porsche nuts tell me a few things about the car itself but as for the color.....it's not common at all but more along the lines of a special order deal.

Thank you:)

Yes the Opti-Seal is a new soon to be released sealant (I'm hoping this coming week) that is unique in it's application. It's applied in a very thin coat and then it's left alone to evaporate. There is no buffing off of residue.

Thanks everyone for the compliemnts, glad you enjoyed it.

I like that colour, makes it a "special" car.

Great work
 
that thing is gorgeous, id totally rock it! nice work
 
WOW, that is GREEN!!! Agreed, love it or hate it. I love it, its different. Looks great. Looks like team Kawasaki. The only thing I can see wrong is, there's no blending in the crowd with that. If you're speeding, go through radar, you just as well pull over, sign the ticket, and pay the fine.:D

Beautiful work, Anthony! It's hot. I like the color. You might get sick of looking at it at some point, but it amplifies the great job done on it. Sure to turn heads!
Being unique is cool!!!
Great job!
