you could try here:

http://www.drmotorsport.co.uk/Subaru...nt%20Codes.htm

take a pic off the vin plate showing the colour code and ill tell you the next day (after iv been to work)

dunno, but it looks the nuts:D

the RB5 was that colour i believe, think they called it steel blue.

i cant, it's not my car. i'm just using the photo as an example of the colour that i want.

did have a look on here for steel blue, can only find steel grey paint code 86f.

can anyone who has an rb5 or sti v5/6 in this colour nip out to the garage and check their paint codes?

Will

It was only available in the Uk on the RB5 or on the JDM's. Same colour but different name in Japan.

i just got some newage Crystal Grey Mettallic (48W) mixed up at Halfords - its ****e- looks more like obsidon Black :(

clarification needed mate - are you saying the crystal grey mettallic that you bought looks like odsidon black or that the car i have pictured looks like obsidon black.

Will

I'm pretty sure the car in that pic has been re-sprayed using a BMW colour iirc

will some more pics help to jog your memory if its that same car? If it is a BMW colour i would love to find out which.

nah, i just meant - don't go to halfords. the paint they made me looked more like black, and didn't match my car at all!

Its 86F Cool Grey as used on STi,s and RB5.

The car in question looks like "Cool Grey "but have you seen the new MY06 USA colour which I'm sure is called "Graphite grey" :D :D :D

Class :D :D

Midlife.....

i haven't but i would like to.

Any pics?

Dam thats nice, do you own it by any chance, if so can you get me the paint code.

Thanks for the pic its crackin.

I really do like that....

Will

I wish mate :)

Best to ask on www.nasioc.com

cheers mate,

Just posted on their site..

Just had a look on the standox web site a paint company we use 86f code comes out as blue steel metalic 1999 to 2000 and cool grey colour comes out as cool grey opal metalic 1997 to 1999 with a colour code of 55d go to any big bodyshop supplier with these codes ,they should show you a colour chit for both which will give you a better idea of the colour your after.:thumb:

sorry to hijack and go off topic, but that is the first pic i've seen of the new shape where the front actually looks nice! quite brutal looking.
anyone know if this car has any additional bodykit bits?

subaru should have got that snapper to do their pics, as theirs don't do it justice if this is what it looks like in the flesh:eek:

so then, been informed that this is colour code 48w for crystal grey. i just hope its correct,

i'll mix up a small sample and spray a wing or something and se what its like. if its ****e then i'll go back to the drawing board.

Will

48w is the crystal grey on 05 scoobs, like mine. is great, but doesn't look as "grey" as that

posted on their site but some jumped up **** of a moderator closed my thread because i can look under the "hood" and check the vin plate of my car.....

i said in my post i have a classic scooby which is being painted and this is the colour i want... whats the paint code.

**** thinks that my06 is my car... I wish!!!

is it any wonder the americans blow themselves up when they cant even read.!!!

wont be going back there for help!! advice stay clear of the nasioc

Will

Can the moderators please lock this thread?, surely this dumbass could look under his "bonnet" and see the paint code :D

What you can do is go to a paint shop and ask them to give you the subaru list of color samples. From there you can match your color with the code.

Will

If you are respraying the car from scratch have you thought about one of the Audi greys ??

There's a very stealty grey Audi which I come across quite regularly........A4 with twin exhausts and quick as sick :D

Looks real close to the USA colour !!

06 STI USA comes in two grey colors:

Steel gray metallic (paint code?, can anyone supply?)

and

Crystal gray metallic (paint code 48W, Can anyone confirm?)

ref http://www.subaru.com/shop/colors.js...=WRX_STI_SEDAN

Guess gray in US is grey in UK

Here is the (silver) paint codes for impreza:

Premium silver Metallic 01G
Crystal Grey Metallic 48W
Steel Grey Metallic 26D
