HELP me choose a color!
What's up people? I have a 96 Impreza L sedan that I am doing some modifying to, I will soon have the 99 RS hood, headlights, grille, and front bumper on my car, and the next thing that needs to be done is to paint it. I have three colors in mind, something like a silverthorne mettalic, a darker grey color I've seen on some euro Impreza's, and the last one being yellow. I have focal rims on my car and I think each of these colors would match my rims but I can't choose! Help me out! I dont know how to put a pic in here but to view my car go to members, then CT, then look for Bill Ryan from Oxford. Thanks a lot!!!!!

go with the darker gray, that's the nicest color out of the three.
| tonyc-mpls | 01-16-2001 08:09 AM |
YELLOW - dude. But only if you can find a metallic or pearl.
| burr101 | 01-16-2001 09:02 AM |

Good point Subie gal, but you didnt vote. Do you guys think that steel blue mica will go good with my rims?
Check them out under CT members.
If anyone has any other suggestions my ears are open.
Steel Blue Mica - 3
Yellow - 1

they'd go real nice with your focal rims, i like those rims. But I just saw your interior, maybe you wanna go with a white color, or black because, the interior wouldn't really match yellow or steel blue mica, beige goes nice with Red, Black, White.
| suby ej25 | 01-16-2001 03:11 PM |
yet another vote for steel blue mica
| 96Lconversion | 01-16-2001 10:44 PM |
By the way, after I am done with the exterior, I will be working on the interior, and I will make it match whatever color I paint the car.

i'm gonna have to agree with the previous post. Yellow or Silver won't go well with the interior at all. The Blue Mica Steel will however I think. That color rocks.
The other color I was thinking is something like a midnight blue, but an extremely deep midnight blue that could be mistaken for black possibly in some lights. First vote is probably for the Blue Steel Mica though.

Steel Blue Mica!!! I want to paint mine that color. BTW I also have focals and I think it would look sweet!!
| 96Lconversion | 01-17-2001 05:35 AM |
That's 8 for Steel Blue Mica and 1 for Yellow. By the way, anybody know where I can get some grey interior fabric?
| Rick Buckner | 01-17-2001 08:25 AM |
If you want something to stand out. What about a hugger orange.

Metalic gray.
Or rally blue. Or some high quality white.
You don't want yellow. Trust me. There is one yellow RS in my area. (Check out the Vancouver forum and search for yello RS).
I've seen it. Looks terrible. Like a ricy Malibu taxi :-)
Unless you can mod your car exactly like STi ver 6 (and gold rims are must), don't go with yellow.

Steel blue mica rocks but with that interior I would recomend something like Viper GTS Red or the Jet Black from the Diablo.
I was going to get a dark gray IS300 but it had that color interior and looked ugly.
You would have to find a wrecked Impreza with dark interiors and not just the fabric but the whole enchilada.

I think Steel Blue Mica would look great once I changed the interior to grey, anybody know of some leftover grey interior stuff from an Impreza????
I ordered my K&N cone filter yesterday, I can't wait to put that baby on with the MAF adaptor, that thing is going to sound sooooooo nice! I'll let everyone know how it turns out.

I'd like to see the hugger Orange. If I had a Camaro, that's the color I'd choose.
Although the other colors are more classy and don't scream out at you. If you want to scream Orange would do that Yellow is used a lot as is red to be considered fast, yet few do the orange and it is nice, would need a photochopped pic to judge totally... Anyone wanna do that?

I got it! CLEAR!!!
Or you could at least go Imac and get it in some washed out translucent color. That way you could see the engine working while you drive!!!

Paint it the same orange color as the Signal Auto Skyline or their Civic. Never would expect it...definite JDM style. Shave the handles as well.

Steel blue mica. Check out some of the BMW paint codes too- they make a cool anthracite (?) that is similiar, its a great stealth color. You may have to change the interior though... maybe it would work. Can anyone photoshop your car pic in the color? That would help too.

Speaking of BMW, I'm gonna have to fire up photoshop...I'd love to see my RS in Henna Red. My brother had an '82 320i in that color. Oh man, was it ever beautiful! Might not be right for the RS...I'll have to check.
