Bassnectar Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 since our car is agressively styled i think the indigo would look the best red would be a gimmick for a prelude or something =p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whos_that_guy Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 white gets dirty too fast lol my sister has a white lancer and its always dirty o.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98LGTLover Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Doesn't get dirty as fast as black does But really white isn't too bad, I think it hides dirt fairly well but when there gets to be a lot then it is really noticible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehsnils Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 A few more alternatives: Pearl White. (Not the Volvo color code 79)British Racing Green with a thin yellow stripe in some places.Plain gray.Light yellow, green or blue.Gold Metallic! And if you like to be a cop magnet you can go for Bright red, yellow or orange. Or for that matter STi blue. And why not get inspiration here: http://volvo1800pictures.com/from_year_to_year/colour_sv.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassnectar Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Hey Reuben is cherry black the black that came stock on the cars? is this why it looks purple in bright sunlight or flash such as your photo??? but heres my idea picture a army hummer in that sandy brown color Now picture your legacy and a metallic shine across the car 'havent seen that before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reuben Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 That's factory mate, and from what i've seen a different black to the USDM black. It's very hard to see the purple, you gotta shine allot of light onto it to get it to come out. And are you suggesting a photoshoot idea, or paint colour idea? As for the paints, white i think is one of the best colours for the face lift gen 2's, black is my other fave. The factory bright red is good on sedans. There are plenty of factory BG's around with WRC sonic blue btw, but i don't think it looks very good. here's some examples http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/77/119228377_full.jpg http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/39/119228739_full.jpg http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/56/120680256_full.jpg http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/97/120680997_full.jpg http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/24/121816224_full.jpg http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/81/121816081_full.jpg http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/49/121816149_full.jpg I do think the GTB dark blue is very nice too, but it's better on wagons than sedans. http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/83/119722483_full.jpg http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/63/119722963_full.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WESTcoast Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Im going have to agree with rueben, i love my alpine white, or cherry black on the 2nd gens!! I guess I have a biased opinion since i have a white lgt hehehe and also there are 2nd gens in cheery black(the one shows like purple) it was a factory color as for the us. I came close to choosing that car but i like how if you are able to see more of the shapes of the aggressive style in white, but dont get me wrong i love the black tooo!

WESTcoast Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 i like the STI blue but couldnt find the paint you might want to try looks under World Rally Blue as that is the exact name of the STi paint:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
