Hey Tone: yea, I'm already getting grief ffrom certain family members about my color choice. My motivation was to get a color that would be compatible with my favorite race team -- Gulf Porsche, which is gulf blue + orange. My Porsche is continental orange so I thought it would also "fit" the look.

More Orange CRUSH, less BABY blue!!!
Maybe orange up to four feet or so, with a 2" dark blue stripe dividing the two?

your wife doesnt have to like it. as long as you like it who cares?
Actually, my wife is very suppotive (& trusting) of my color choice. My son & son-in-law however, are men of little vision.
When they have their own Porsches and garages, they can go with whatever color scheme they want.
Beautiful car. Are those 17" Fuchs, and -- if so -- whose are they?

Milou, if you haven't already, you should start a new thread about your garage. I've seen it elsewhere, and it's incredible.

one of my internet buddies on Pelican Parts (nyne911) did it for me after I saw a posting he'd done with his car (I am photoshop illerate - in fact I just found the wonder of the internet
). Basically it's an old, abandoned drive-in movie screen with a superimposed shot from "LeMans" (the movie)

That is really, really cool. Very creative piece.
Thought they looked familiar. Sweet.

That is freakin' cool. As a poster, it would sell like crazy. I want one!

Awesome. Your choice of the blue and orange contrast between walls and Porsche following the Gulf Porsche colours is first class. The floor and cabinets just set it all off to perfection. The whole building and car reek of timeless class. As much as I like 60's American muscle (Mustangs, Camaro's and 'vettes) there is definitely something about a Porsche isnt there.
btw - McQueen was 'the man' wasnt he

Jeremy, you are indeed a man of vision. I thought no way is that wall color going to work, but the floor really ties everything together. Nice job!
Nice car too.

That looks very cool. I really like the floor.
I presume it is not always hot in Tx, have you made any provision for heating & if so, what?

Yup it's always warm in Houston. We built the garage and attic above with foam insulation, which keeps everything pleasant in summer (yet to be really tested) or winter. 80 F is projected for summer in attic. A/C is also being considered and we engineered in that option, though with blow thru ventilation (front & rear garage doors open) and flloor fans, I'm hoping that will keep the heat tolerable.

Wow, very nice. I love the color combos, very retro-looking. That floor came out great!!
What paint/color did you use for the walls? I was thinking of using a similar color.
