I have a 94 bar. red too. The dealer does not have the paint. The only way is to go to a body shop and tell them to mix one for you. Last time, I wanted to paint my 97 grill red and the bodyshop told me that he will charge 80 for the grill + will mix extra for touch up.

Should not cost much

what seraphim??

i bought a small bottle of touch up paint from the dealer. it cost me almost $20.

call subaruparts.com and i am sure they can get it for you. i think i still have some at home. if you want i will check and see if there is a part number on the bottle.

What's the paint code for your '94? If it is, as you say, Barcelona Red, then I have to stop telling people that my '93 is only one of 300 built with that color. I thought any reds from 94-97 were Brilliant Red.

BTW I also bought my bottle of touch-up paint at the dealer. It cost me maybe $8-9.

Actually, I just looked on Joe Spitz's site and he also claims that Barcelona Red was available in '94. Heh - I didn't know that.

Yep, I paid 10.50 each for two blanks from the dealership here (yeah, the one with the 4,600.00 tranny replacement -- grrrrrr). That was before I knew about subaruparts.com (less than 5 bucks for OE replacment key blanks). Of course, they cut them for free.

Right - I'm sure we all know about Joe's site. But his info is not 100% accurate 100% of the time.

As for touch up paint, your local dealer should be able to get it for you. Mine did.

No problem - just have the paint code handy when you visit or call them. You can find the paint code on the plaque that's under your hood on the left side - about where the upper strut mount is.

Good luck!

It also occurs to me that, if you have anything else to buy, you might do well to order from www.subaruparts.com. But the shipping cost might not be worth ordering the touch up paint from them, if that's all you need.

I have ordered manual and a harmonic balancer from them so I know thier service. Will report that although they screwed up my orders, and Unless u are curious I won't go into it now cause its a little bit of a story, they were real open and apologetic and knocked as much off the bill as posible including free shipping on my last order and a .am well pleased with them. Just remember to call by phone to order the email service is handled by one guy and he is overwhelmed. You will see what I mean if you call you hear message alerts going off every few seconds about web orders and emails.
Thanks again
Mike

OE key blanks!

Touch up paint for my Dark Teal recently cust 6.75 in Santa Monica, California, ... cost 10.00 in San Jose, California...

I got a key made at subaru and was disappointed to find
it was a generic ILCO rubberhead, good news is they didnt charge me!.

I will order an oem key from subaru parts next time i order something.

Subaru parts takes Subaru 100 dolalr vouchers fromt eh Subaru Mastercard, correct?


So all I need is to give subaruparts my key code, and they'll cut it when I order the spare key?
