Unless your going to take the engine out and do the engine bay as well then i think its a waste of time as they don`t look right with a different colour engine bay.

NO NO NO unless your going to spend thousands on a proper respray keep it the same. Well unless also your never going to sell it and drive it until it falls apart.

A cheap respray will seriously effect the re-sale value of a car. If its done properly (i.e. engine out) then yes thats cool.. but otherwise keep it the same colour

If I did it, I'd go for a colour that the Impreza never came in. Something classy rather than garish though.

If you're going to paint it black, you may aswell buy a black one!

Go black and it will not only look the business but it will be faster as well

we did a colour change on a silver classic to white. alot of work but well worth it..

i think the black with a few subtle bits of red remaining will look nice, i'm gonna leave the front grill red i think.

But surely you have to do the inside of the doors in the boot and everywhere else paint work is visible. Got to be £3 or £4K worth at least all in?

i wsa going to change the front bumper anyhoow.

remove the doors and rear bumper and spray them, remove the boot and spray that along with the bonnet.
I have a pair of lightweight wings from my old scooby left over which i can spray black and fit.

That just leaves the roof and rear wings to spray.

time to chase a couple of my mates who can spray for some cash in hand me feels.

ye i actually did want silver - but came away with platinum "silver"

Which is more a soft gold really

I AGREE: DON'T CHANGE THE COLOUR! BAD, BAD NEWS!!

Don't change the colour, unless you go for something really different/unusual. It will affect the value, however, if you've gone to the trouble of a respray in an unusual colour then you may attract a different market.

LMAO have you ever seen a Subaru under the bonnet and in the boot its primer anyway

My engine bay is quite faded and almost pink ...





The bumper needs a new coat...



But the bodywork isnt too bad, i still need to sort out the sills and bumper trim too though...



I'm still thinking black, if i get a mate to do it on the cheap.

Black then or any other ideas ???? i am tempted to go WRC blue but then they are so common. ??????

kawasaki green!!!!!

if you want to do something different go for something you haven't seen

as for engine out, the trend now seems to be for black engine bays regardless of the colour of the car

Already been done... Looked GASH!

Was a friends car..Yes the wheels are photoshoped white to see what they looked like; they were gold..


Personally I think unless you can do a proper job, i.e. strip the car completely to prep all the door shuts, engine bay and boot you shouldnt bother.

Seriously mate, spray it whatever colour you like best

I recently changed the colour of my scooby from black to red (not just any red ), and dont regret it one bit, but would agree with most when they say go for something a bit different rather than a standard colour!

Engine bay on a red car would def. need to be done, i didn't change mine as i would rather it was black anyway, jut my choice though!

Good luck with it though

My 97 classic is bright red, just had a full respray done in the standard colour, looks soooooooo good!

so what black's are there...black with a gold flip, pink/red flip ??

I would choose Gunmetal from an R32 skyline.

[Davey]

IMHO the best standard colours are the metalic blues: WR blue, Pro-drive blue and DBM..

And the best colour that suits the Impreza the most has got to be the RB5 metalic grey..
