respray, but what colour?

going to get the scoob fully resprayed over christmas (door shuts and all) its an obsidian black pearl blobeye thats despoilered and soon to be low if that helps.

think ive settled on some form of white but not 100% sure. just wondered if anyone had seen anything unusual that looked good on a scoob that i hadn't seen or thought about.
don't mind something a bit off the wall either.

also wheel colours to consider (18" rota grids, currently gunmetal), if i go white it will probably be a minty green for the wheels similar to this hatch. (sorry about the pic size, don't know how to shrink it:P)



cheers for reading, Mike

One of the lads got his coupe sprayed and it looks well smart and it's different

what colour is that? looks like two tone flip paint, trying to avoid those as its a bugger to paint match if you have a scrape or want to add something

It's that colour they do the alpha's in not sure what the name is

Graphite grey might look nice aswell only ever seen 1 that colour and it belongs to revolution

The revolution car just looks like primer to me, don't like the colour at all

don't mind the revolution car, but its been done loacally, either want something thats unique(ish) or tried and tested white.

What about this, different but not different at the same time if you get what I mean





Blue like loads of imprezas but matte, seen a GTR in this colour at Ten of The Best and it looked class

I meant more of an rb5 grey tbh

I like this colour that is on the new clio sports-

My car on me profile pic is vidid blue, believed to be the new honda colour. Looks great aswel with matt wheels etc

I've never seen a yellow blobeye.. Love the yellow classics think it would look good Black and yellow..

XD

Yellow blob for the win


That looks freeakin awesome. Makes marks type r look poo ( sorry mark )

haha natski,

yeah yellow + carbon fibre = fuking win!

The coupe will be a colour called Nuvola blue.

What about a ncie sepang bronze or a nice pearl white.

that yellow blob looks fantastic, reminds me of an r32 skyline i saw in that colour, definitely tempting

bronze/brown had crossed my mind, been thinking of the VW bronze that they do, but that BMW bronze is lovely too. only thing that puts me off is its still a dark colour, and one of the reasons i'm painting mine is because black is such a ball ache to keep looking good, especially with our weather.

seen some lovely pearl whites, could be an idea.


cheers guys, keep em coming

white is smart but its still a nightmare to keep clean L)

Had a Championship white Honda Integra Type R years ago which i didn't find too bad to keep on top of, yes it shows the dirt a bit, but its great at hiding the inevitable swirl marks and occasional holograms in the paint, where as black is very very unforgiving in that department. i can deal with giving it a wash often, but with black you really have to be careful when polishing it for holograms, especially when the paint is as soft as Subaru's

That's where a matte colour comes in mate, no need to polish them at all

matt white ftw

Now I like that

always liked the idea of a candy coloured car, i know its a bit more expensive like







dunno what it would look like on a newage mind

i like matte white too, but isn't matte really high maintenance? ive heard horror stories about the BMW satin finish paint they do, thought matte would be similar.


a friend had an evo 6 in a candy red colour years ago, and his was a bit too much fast and furious for me, always reminds me of that so its probably a no go. plus its more than twice the price of most "standard" paints

isnt any paint high maintenance lmao if it chips, dings cracks ect...
