What color should I paint the silver wagon?

douglas vincent · Post by **douglas vincent** » Tue Dec 18, 2007 6:03 am

I have one of my employees killing time right now prepping a turbo hood, front bumper, 1 fender and some doors that are ding free. I will paint these in my booth, then finish the wagon off in the back of the shop.

But......

What color? Interior is grey/black. Rims are WRX but getting those painted to compliment is not a problem.

I don't want black. Silver is "dirty" looking to me. No white. I would like some candy/metallic flake maybe......

Ideas?

Metallic World Rally Blue!

Make a replica of that ex-factory rally pre-runner we saw a few months ago...

what about something like olive or dark green, but gloss?
or maybe one of the australian colors like that gunmetal color.

I like the dark vein-blood red that some '50's Maseratis had. Never see it anywhere else. It's like maroon, but less purplish as black is substituted for blue in the mix.

I also like fire engine yellow-green, but I think that's really a color for small sports cars. I think the Charger in Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry might have been that color, but I don't remember. It looked good if it was.

I'm with Steve, a deep dark red. My favorite colors of all the Subaru colors has always been the winestone. A little darker wouldn't hurt it any. If you've got a nice clean Legacy, you may as well do something a little different and keep it classy.

Just my thoughts at least.

Primed the 4 doors, hood, 2 front fenders, bumper today. I am using the PPG brand OMNI paint. Its about $80 a gallon, at least for the primer....

I am leaning into the blood red metallic realm.....

What kind of spray gun do you use (assuming it's a spray gun)?

Oh... and did/how did you strip the original paint?
