great work they both look have very stright body. I like black is just so hard to maintain what color is the prime one going to be painted.

I have contemplated the charcoal color for my blue SE just not sure about changing the color.

lol. i should probably mention that the paint was done by CodeBlue! thanks for all the help man!!! i'll be over tomorrow, got a pretty good sunburn at the track, and went to the girls house aftewr work today. can't wait to try out the new gun!

and
1stgenforme, his car is going to be seafoam, about like the one in your sig! ( i think its that color... im kinda colorblind)

now you just need to finish the rest of the body parts, so you can paint them. Swap out the front end, so we can put the new wheels on. if you hurry you might be able to drive by next summer.

Black is hot, real hot. On a california sunny summer day all you need is a little Pam and some pancake mix to cook breakfast on the hood. Love the black on the FB!

looks really nice!.....

the spindoctor 06-07-09 01:20 PM

man, that looks great! it takes some balls to paint an old car black.

84stock 06-07-09 01:38 PM

Yeah the bloack looks amazing, i am thinking about visiting the bodyshop before mine gets painted and removing the bumpers and have them painted separate.

old_skool 06-08-09 11:05 AM

thanks for all the compliments guys! its been a long time in the works, and all the sanding is finally paying off. now to finish it!

as for the color, its subaru Diamond Grey Metallic. it looks black at the right angle, but is really a dark grey with 3 different pearls and a few colors of metal flake. can't wait to get it on the road after 2 years, and be able to enjoy it! lol.

and thanks to Codeblue for guiding me along the way (and all the work, painting know how, sanding help, garage space, etc... this list goes on and on), Codeblue2 for riding my ass to get it done when i lost motivation (and making sure i was never went hungry), and jesse, BStrange99, ray, Pretty kitty(the walking dust mop)and everyone else who got me this far!
