From Porsche Facebook page about how Saffron Yellow Metallic is applied. I think that it looks stunning. πŸ˜‡:

The multi-coat paint Saffron Yellow Metallic (available only for 911 Turbo models) is built up in four coats with intermediate sanding. The result: a brilliant hue with an extraordinary appearance of depth and a powerful metallic effect. Take a look in this gallery.

I'm with you on the Saffron metallic, it's a special colour and looks stunning. The standard yellow, however, is very much marmite. Also the standard yellow does struggle on the used market unless it is specced on a GT car.

911’s look best in red.

Not the muddy dull red but one that is so bright it slaps you around the face like Guards Red.

It is a gorgeous colour, Semerka. 😎 But at £6,312, it makes what I paid for Carmine Red on my Panamera look a positive bargain! :lol:

No wonder Saffron Yellow is so expensive, when you look at who they employ to do the interim sanding 🀣 πŸ˜‰
