KristjanJohann Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) I'm going to give my GL-10 Leone Sedan a new paintjob. I want an old school retro one color paintjob without metal flakes and candy colors. What color do you suggest for me? Please post pics of a car in that color, best if it's a EA82 I don't want Black, and not White, and not Blue I have a little craving for light red or the original color, just a slight darker one. I'm doing a EJ22 Swap w/EJ gearbox this winter and I want a new paintjob before I do the swap Pic of mine like it is today... Got 420.000km on the clock (262.500miles) Like it was when it was 2y old: Edited January 13, 2011 by KristjanJohann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 What about a Darker, More Aggresive Blue; like the One found on the WRX impreza? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristjanJohann Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 What about a Darker, More Aggresive Blue; like the One found on the WRX impreza? No thanks. I don't see that as a Retro color. Too flashy, too shiny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Yes, You're Right. So Retro Colour... in this case I Kindly Suggest you to Choose the Red, 'cos there's Lots of Other Colours in and around your Subies in your Great Photos, but I Noticed a Lack of Red. By the Way: Your Photos Looks Very Professional. Kind Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 The Factory Red for Loyales was Named: "Imperial Red - 566" and... I'm Not in Hawaii, but in Central-America.

hush777 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I always wanted to change mine from the maple beige that it is, to the champagne gold that they had for the ea82 bodies. Have a silver one also that is for the wife. I have owned most of the ea82 colors except for the gold. Hush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firespray401 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 A guy over on Nasioc painted his GC Impreza a BMW charcoal and I think it amazing. I think a dark red would look very cool and retro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 How about a rootbeer brown? Like the color that was offered for 85-86. I have a rotbeer brown 3-door coupe, tan interior, that i am going to register as a classic collector plate. I really like the all stock 1986-ness of my car. Although i am doing suspension mods, i am keeping the stock appearance. I will beusing gold snowflake wheels against the original rootbeer brown, and would like to bronze tint my windows like you see on older lexus and toyota factory tint.
