After some work on the SVX this weekend, I would definitely recommend this route instead of the Subaru stuff. My paint shop gave me a bottle of touchup paint (leftover from the work they did), and it's far better than the Subaru stuff. It's nowhere near as thick as the Subaru stuff, so it applies easier, and dries smoother. The only thing I would recommend is, if your car has faded to different shades on different parts like mine, make sure you have them match to the part your going to be using it on the most. What I got was leftover from my hood and fender, and while it matched the front perfectly, it's a bit bright for the spoiler.
