We've had the formula for almost a year, but had not produced anything in Ice Blue yet until this past week.

We anxiously went into production and completed a good run of our Bumper and Door Plugs in Ice Blue (and we did Mahogany too this week).

Was absolutely stunned when they finished final cure. Not totally blown away, but we've seen this trick from Porsche before.

There are many other 'German' manufacturers that share formulas. The colors are almost always under another tricky name, and in some cases even the formula code is quite different. In other cases, the formula code might be the same, or only off by one letter.

Audi, VW, MB, BMW, Porsche....you get the idea.

So as we got through the 15th round in our process and everything hard cured, we pulled the Ice Blue and noticed it is a drop dead ringer for VW's Speed Blue, a color I know all too well as my oldest daughter drives an '05 Jetta in that color and it is a very nice look.

Anyways, if you are undecided and can't get a peak at Ice Blue at your dealer, get to a local VW dealership and you will find it there as Speed Blue.

99% identical.

 

iceblue is unavailable for Porsche MY11. They just kicked our last Turbo S out and it's................BLACK.


No IB until MY12. Who knows the real reason.


good work Eric!

 

Mmmm! I hope that's a mistake as a I have just been told that the build date for my IBM TTS is week 46 - 3rd week November. I'd hate things to slip even further.

 

It's not a mistake and your dealer *should* know it.

 

Eric since you are a paint guy can you give us dome insight why Porsche would wait for the last half of this year to spit out Ice Blue Metallic cars? I mean seriously it is only paint. Think Porsche needs to explain themselves!!!

 

Mini Cooper is coming out with an Ice Blue color for MY2011, any idea if it will be anywhere close to what Porsche is doing color wise ??

 

When does MY12 production start incidentally?

 

MY12 (my guess) will be the NEW 99X or the last part of the 997 Chassis.

When? Anyones guess is as good as mine.

 

I just checked the configurators and Ice Blue Metallic is no longer showing on the US and UK sites.

It is still available on the Australian configurator. This seems weird.

 

Your Austrailian Dealer must answer that question.
