I'm thinking about painting the rally car yellow its a BC leggy... I dunno how it would look but I am getting free primer, paint and clear coat... So its kinda hard to pass up for free!

she doesnt like yellow. ignore her. yellow is awesome. and is perfect for a rally car. why do you think there are pictures of doug havir's car all over the place. besides the fact it is an awesome car the photographers love taking pics of it because it shows up so well.
havir used the metallic yellow from the honda S2000.
steve Gingras used the electric yellow from the 91 sport sedan on his 02 open class WRX. i thought it looked really good. better than the metallic on havir's IMHO.
here is a site w/paint codes for subarus in 91 from PPG:

LOL I'm not going to do it I would rather paint it orange... I think yellow wouldn't look right on this car but it might look cool on my gm impreza.

orange seems to be the color to paint rally cars this year.
there is the wagon that rolled at OT and matt johnsons WRX that come to mind right away.
the yellow on that WRX wagon is not the yellow that was used in 91.
here is a site w/steve's car it is the #50 ACT II popcorn car (hence the yellow) it is the forst car on the left in the second row:

Anyway, I think most colors actually look good on Legacys, and I think Sonic Yellow looks great on Imprezas.

If I was going to paint a Legacy for rally I'd go for a retro look. Not just a copy of an old rally car but try to get the flavor of the early 90's rally look.
My favorite yellow came on Triumph motercycles. It's tits.

do the orange and black jagermeister scheme... would be so nice on that car. then you could get sponsored by jagermeister.
