what do you guys think about doing this?updated with a pics!

[Subiel94]

so i have a little bit of rust on the bottom of my legacy... i live in ohio so its expected so i was thinking about fixing it and shooting black on the bottom portion of the car tell me what you guys think. i haven't done it yet. i used wide electrical tape to give me an idea. i don't have the money to repaint it the factory color... let me know your honest opinions. idk if i should do it or not.

[Subiel94]

and also i have black wheels on it now. and the hood roof and trunk is black already. i wish those were the original color but oh well.

I say go for it. Other Subaru models give our cars some credbility as still pretty stock looking with blacked-out rocker panels and bumpers. It looks way better than saying f-it and keeping it primer gray like too many people do.

[Subiel94]

ok i mean i like it then i don't because i'm gonna do this all the way around below all the black trim. so i thought it may look stupid on the front bumper.

[gijonas]

yup do it! I am going to be doing this as well this winter.

It definitely doesn't look bad going around the bumpers

[Subiel94]

ok. i probably will end up doing this. i think it gives it a unique look. and james614 is that hurculiner???

[James614]

Its black satin finish rustoleum according to the poster of the other thread. I'd stay away from truck bed liners for the outside of your car, unless you plan to play bumper cars. That stuff is rough and won't look pretty, along with creating more wind drag.

[Subiel94]

no i was just curious if thats what you had. i didn't read just looked at pics. lol and yeah just thought it kinda looked like it. haha

[sqc151]

wow, for electrical tape that didnt turn out so bad for a temp job. hell, even if u left it like that atleast it will be sealed tight...lol

[Subiel94]

yeah i was kinda surprised too.

Looking good! I say do it!

[beatersubi]

I was thinking about doing this to my wagon in bedliner.
If you do end up doing it, post pics for us to see.

[Subiel94]

Yeah I'm kinda a redneck when it comes to paint. And I'm slapping some duplicolor bed armour I have left from my jeep paint job. But I'm just puttin it on the rockers and around the inner wheel wells. And hopefully I'll get this done this weekend if all goes right. And I'll post some pics up for you guys.

I say do it! I did it and loved it.

[Subiel94]

Oh wow after looking at all your pics I'm definitely gonna do this! Thanks a lot for the pics. Btw your car looks awesome I like the night time pics by the road!

[RckyMtnLegacy]

I loved that car so much. Painting it was tons of fun both times. My buddy has it now and is supposed to be on here sometime soon.

I'm gonna be different here and say I don't like it. But it definitely beats rust or mismatched panels, so why not? I'd use bedliner personally, I feel like it'd add to the off road kind of look, but that's just me.

And jesus christ dude, next time just ask for a photoshop

[RckyMtnLegacy]

I used bedliner

[Subiel94]

Hey I wanted to get the look of the actually thing instead of on the computer. Plus I has a bunch of 3inch wide electrical tape. And I'm gonna use some Bedliner on it. I gots lots left over from my jeep. Plus it'll make nice chip guard on the rockers.

[Subiel94]

pics will be up soonish. i live in ohio and the temp dropped pretty good so paint dont like to look right. but im still fixing the cancer. dont worry when i actually get it done ill post pics.

[RckyMtnLegacy]

Good can't wait to see

[Subiel94]

well i finally did it. i only did the doors yet so far. i will do my bumpers in the spring. im tired of painting in the cold with a space heater. even tho itll look better with them done. now this is just a quick pic so i can show you guys the car is jacked up on the passenger side bc i was putting new tires on my 03 wrx rims. but ill try to post more this weekend

[RckyMtnLegacy]

Looking good. So creepy how close this looks like mine brings back great memories. Keep it up. I remember painting in the cold freaking blows

[Subiel94]

No kidding. I'm not a fan. Even tho I did everything in the garage. It's not insulated or heated so atlases I was out of the wind. But I never wanna do it again. To hard to get the paint to look right.
