2006 HawkEye Impreza Paint job lower doors
Hi
Im looking at purchasing a 55plate hawkeye 2.5 STi
anyhow ive noticed that the lower 3 or 4 inches of the doors, on what seems all sides, is not as smooth and nice as the top half and rest of the body panels
its kinda like its had a respray but only on the bottom 4inches of each door?
all seems abit wierd as its on all the doors
anyone with a 2006 Impreza see if theirs is the same?
its gotta either be a paint job or extra paint to protect from chips?
or am i completey wrong and someone knows the answer

My company has a 06 Impreza, and i remember seeing it as well, let me confirm it on Monday. I own a hawkeye as well, but mines covered up with paint guard film, so it's quite hard to tell.

What type of paint I couldn't tell you but yes it's added protection. Some people flat polish it but doesn't bother me tbh.

Its not orange peel, its probably stone guard under the paint, the lowers are more susceptible to stone chips so they put a flexible paint on the panel first to help deflect stones- that's what I was told by a bodyshop anyway!
