If you were to paint your subie, would you keep it the same color?

I'm sure plenty of people have thought about this. every time I see the HUNDREDS of paint chips on the front and sides of my car it goes through my mind. It would be great to have the car repainted, and it would be the easiest to go with red again. and that's probably what I would end up doing. teh color is a little on the rare side. but I originally wanted black and I've wanted a totally blacked out car (black car, dark tint, black wheels) for a long time. if it didn't cost a zillion dollars to have the whole thing done (engine bay, trunk, etc, etc) I'd probably do it :o

Please No.
There used to be a place around here called Earl Scheid Painting or something like that and they would paint a car for like $200 or something. The bad thing is that they don't do any prep work. They just paint. So if you bring it in with emblems and door handles, it all gets painted. Then a dude with a razor blade takes the paint off of the glass. Needless to say, super nice.

No, I'd go with the "Pewter" silver color (not sure of the name) of the last gen Supra if I could...it's a pants creamer if you ask me.
| eminehart | 05-12-2005 05:58 PM |
I would have to use the Orange from the mazdaspeed protege.
| SeattleWRX | 05-12-2005 07:20 PM |
I would do pearl white from the cadillac.

I am a big fan of british racing green.
Then again a quality, long lasting world rally blue paintjob might be nice as well.

I'd paint mine the blue color of the Subaru rally cars.
Oh, wait... :D
Yeah, I'd pretty much do the factory color. I might jazz it up a bit, but I've always been a sucker for a nice shade of sapphire blue.

i'd do the 1998 RS green color too, not the sexiest color but has a nice stealthy and classy effect, especially with my 98 goldies
| Thumper23 | 05-12-2005 08:40 PM |
since its already blue, I'd get it WRB again, except this time, not with the crappy Subaru paint
but if it was greyish, Ferrari grey baby

I like Mazda's Nordic Green Mica.
If I were to get mine repainted (which should be soon. Parents said they'd do it for my b-day last year...), I'd go with a different shade of red. Probably just get Sedona Red, as my current color is just a flat red......

My CGM would become Sedona Red if I got it repainted. Red + Gold = Hot = Tickets out of your ass.
Ok, maybe that isn't such a good idea.

I like the silver color of the s203 on the subaru japan site. Im not sure if its the same silver you can get on an sti or not. I think its a special color that only the s203 comes in but it looks realy good on the subaru site.

I love my BDP. It's not very common.
But if I had to change I would take the sonic blue from the 22B. I know not very original, but blue is my favourite colour.

| Jasper | 05-13-2005 10:14 PM |
theres a lambo black pearl that i absolutely LOVE, not sure of the exact color. its basically a black undertone, with a maroon red pearl over it. makes it look black from a distance, and as you get closer, it becomes this incredibly deep shade of a reddish black, i cant even describe it. its, just.....oh god. sooooooo perfect.
| smooth_ej20 | 05-13-2005 11:36 PM |
I love my PSM but, If i had the money and i might soon, id paint my car the color that Endless paints all their race cars. It is such a sick looking blue. Either that or the Reflex Spice color from TVR.

i would paint my car with that M5 concept color the black underneath the silver. it looks black in the shade and some angles and siver in the sun. the chrome is a good idea cause it'll help with radar prevention.

Definitely, I would do a custom paint job if I could afford it. The paint on the 02's just isn't up to par, although I do like the WRB.
Probably a custom candy apple red or something a bit darker.. saw a custom EVO in a mag painted that color and it'd look sweet!

My car is black, and has scratches, chips, swirls EVERYWHERE. It looks great when its clean and doesn't have direct sunlight.
I've always wanted to paint it a dark dirty reddish-orange. Like Honda Pilot orange, that would be sooo slick. A gunmetal or dark graphite would be my next choice! :D

Painting mine now actually. Keeping it Sonic Yellow just like it ame with. Just putting a proper paint job on it. I would never send my car to Makko. With paint and body, you absolutly get what you pay for. No question. I am probably paying way way to much given it is a WRX and not a new AMG.
Just a thought, in the mid eighties Porsche had a real neat color called Meteor Metalic. I had my Porshce shot in that back in the day. I have to say, it was superb. Kinda grey, kinda violet, but not. Definitly unique. Got comment after comment after comment on it. Not too flashy but stood out. Factory Porsche Meteor Metalic.
Also Ferrari Fly Yellow would be a top choice or the M3 Laguna Seca Blue.

Def. some JDM color.
Feather white, Steel blue mica (Impreza P1), or that sexy old school STI yellow.
I did have someone ask me once if I had my car repainted a different color. But it was just really really clean and the guy didn't know much about Subaru's.
