CrewJ , i love those photoshop colours. actually fell in love with the pink finish till i saw the other choices. LoL , i'm no puff.just thought the colour was amazing.

My choice for the imprezza is Subaru RoyalViolet , its more like metaliic blue (think its colour code 81N ,
looks fab in the sunlight on our Legacz (renamed the legacy with z in favour of subaru's use of z in the new BRZ . z for zen/zenith meaning ultimate !! )

whichever colour you go for , , , good luck with the project mate.

Well sorry to say but your all wrong,

If you are going to repaint it and go to all that fuss then it has to be something different. All the colours mentioned are all so common and how the type r left the factory.

You have to he different so I say this

https://www.scoobynet.com/members-ga...-mica-red.html

Mica red, then add a little twist like a pearl tint or a flake of some sort. I remember a year or two back a guy had done it to a type r and it looked mint, it ended up being broken for spares. Will try and hunt the pictures.

I chose white, only colour i like the scoob in, but is it worth asking, as white is the most popular choce on this poll, is that by people who own white cars ? (if so, that makes it pretty common, might be nice to be a bit different !)

i thought a white classic was quite rare, well, it was when i was buying (7 yrs ago)

i couldnt do red,and my gf would go spare,every accident anyone on her side of the family has been in a red car,so reds a no-no.

what you guys are sayin about being different is what i wanna do,hence the house of kolour bluegrass.

its a black metallic basecoat-with a blue pearl over it.so does go between the 2 colours.

it is a hard choice when you can have anything
