I decided to get the Morrettes for my WRC Blue MY01 WRX. I took them down to my local body shop to get them colour coded, and to my disappointment they are the wrong shade of blue. Does any body know the colour code and make of paint that will match my car.

Thanks

The colour code is on the VIN plate on the passenger side suspension turret under the bonnet !

The colour code for WR Blue is 02C.

We've found that paint mixed by Partco is a much better match (and cheaper) than that supplied by Subaru. Most strange.

Different paints can required different colour primers to be used too.
