I just joined from your post over in the Taycan facebook group. Happy to be here and contribute.
Do you think its possible to do one in Pantone PMS 159, CMYK 0,65,100,9 or RGB 191,87,0 (#bf5700)? Those are the exact color codes for the version of orange I'm looking for.
Willing to consider any passed on costs to make it happen!

I can try to find a paint code, do you know what brand paint you'd be using?

I'll PM you the tracking number. I sent on March 2, and the tracking says it was processed through the Los Angeles International Distribution Center on March 9 and is in trasit to its destination. I can't imagine the Ukraine situation has helped any...W5Hans wrote: Sat Mar 12, 2022 8:30 am Hi Tom,
Can you tell me how long it will take to receive the package or is there a reference number ?

@APRisti -- yours is ready -- please PM to make arrangements.
@Robert986 -- yours is ready -- please PM to make arrangements.
@VA_CT -- yours is ready -- let's find a time/place; I owe you a PM....
@Mike992 --yours has been ready for a while -- last call.
@Michaelx, @Nine finger Porsche, @ggsf, and @sliksunny: you each requested a full set of covers. I'm offering the Sports Chrono bezels for free as a calling card for the site. The tach and mode dial covers are much more time consuming (with lower success yield) so in fairness to those waiting, I am limiting full sets to active carpokes members (per post #298 in this thread). I'll be thrilled to make you each a full set, but I'd want to see you on the site, posting, setting up avatars, telling friends, etc. in order to offer up a full free set. This is a community-building perk, and nothing would make me happier than to see you become part of the community with a full set of bezels.
Sure, that's what I am planning to do. I was off for few days but now back in.
Avatar updated, friends informed .. however they mostly drive electrics :/ .. will try to convince them, at least try a flat6
Is there any specific area/page where we can introduce ourself as a start?
Have a nice Sunday.

I have a light grey that is fairly close to chalk (but without all the nuance of real chalk). I'm also going to the paint shop later this week. For $35, I can get true chalk/crayon matched to the Porsche paint code if you want. Let me know.huyle wrote: Sun Mar 13, 2022 6:55 pm Hi Tom,
I would love to order a full set in crayon/chalk color please! Thank you!
Getting an exact match is typically mission critical if you have interior trim pained in exterior paint color; but otherwise less obvious. Chalk has unique qualities though, so up to you.-
