Drew888 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Go look at a Z06 Blue...Sickest thing I have ever seen. Almost crapped my pants over the color. I'm 43 and that just doesn't happen!

frkkevin Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 A lot of fans for matte black.. this was my choice although I did not vote. This is my wife's car and she was leaning for WR Blue (although we both like white). Hard choice.. we will see how this goes. I might just have to load up GT5 and paint the wagon virtually lol. 512whp/465ftlb 2005 5EAT Legacy (Build Log) Videos - - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GVSUBeef Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I would absolutely love to see you repaint it in the white. Clean and understated. With the body kit it will already attract enough attention, keep it simple. There's my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy Wagon Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Matte black usually turns out like crap. The flat olive green can be nice in certain lighting. Evo's always had nice whites, though. Especially the new ones. I'd personally go with one of those. Then you dont have to repaint the door jambs and stuff too. Also that bumper looks awesome in white. http://images.drive.com.au/drive_images/Editorial/2008/07/10/lancerEvoWhite02_m_m.jpghttp://images.drive.com.au/drive_images/Editorial/2008/07/10/lancerEvoWhite01_m_m.jpg Even the older ones...but it does help that the Evo IV was a gorgeous car (and lol at the kid in the back) http://www.wheels.uk.com/acatalog/mit-evo-iv-boss-red-17_lg.jpg One last picture: http://subaru-legacy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Second-Generation.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birmy Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I would suggest going with the stock color. Removing glass, engine and everything else so you would not have any white showing if you were to with a blue or green or gray would be very expensive.

Most people don't use a matte clear and the paint ends up taking the abuse.

Jay Speed Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I voted Bright Yellow but mean the same color as my car which is " English Mustard " It's a original Subaru color. Here is a photo : http://db.tt/iPZ1lFF Color code is 82H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimfast Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 i like the idea of matte black but unless you plan on doing all the jams and stuff like the others have said i would just keep it white. do it right or dont do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frkkevin Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 We chose white.. probably shoot a blue pearl over it. Any other color would have included redoing all the jams 512whp/465ftlb 2005 5EAT Legacy (Build Log) Videos - - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20LGTBH02 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 We chose white.. probably shoot a blue pearl over it. Any other color would have included redoing all the jams I totally agree. Just shoot a coat of pearl (whatever color you like) over your white, then clearcoat. Jambs and engine bay are a bitch to prep and paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
