Default Cars ready for paint - what Colour though?

im thinking..

Diamond white?

Im going for a 100% sleeper look. with black plastic bumper's, and no spoiler.

Not interested in WR Blue, Black, or any other standard subaru colour.

Any idea's would be much appreciated.


Thanks

you lot are starting to think like me!

Black plastic bumper's, Sport Bonnet, Black FMIC with black hose's.

I cant get any 17" steel wheels or i would get some 100%

It is actually a gx though as standard. But now its had a full sti 8 conversion!

Matt white is what colour it is at min, with the primer.

I even thought about a burgandy colour! lol

Going to have a look at colours tomorrow.

if its really going to be a sleeper you need to keep it a factory colour...in which case I'd go for an anonymous blue or maybe silver because everyone and their uncle has a blue car.

16" VW steelies fit btw...I was going to go down this route but am too much of a tart

The finish should be just as smooth as regular paint. It's just that the clear coat is flat not shiny. At least thats the way I understand it.
Have a search on NASIOC for more details

one of the reasons I binned the sleeper idea...no steelies to fit over the brakes. You can get steel wheels made up but I looked into that and it was uber costly.
