Re: Gun-metal SVX on ebay

That color looks almost like Mazda Galaxy Gray or Subaru's Urban Gray Metallic. That 95 L AWD was Emerald originally. It looks to be a clean, fairly low mileage example, with a paint job that probably broke the bank, as all jambs and edges of the engine compartment have been done as well.

Re: Gun-metal SVX on ebay

Actually looks good, (the second grey one with the graphics doesn't look too bad, if you like that sort of visual...)

I am not a big fan of grey cars, usually I find them boring and too common, but the SVX suits it well, as the body lines have enough drama to make the car still look good, and not just like a steel box painted grey.

I think it would look slick with a black roof and trunk, also, like the Silver SVXs did get.

Spending the $$$$$$$ to paint the jams, and the inside of the engine bay, and all of that, is the reason that I would probably try to get a black car to do a color-change. That way, with good finishing and color borders, it wouldn't look to bad to have the jams and compartments in black, especially with a black roof and trunk lid... it would give the appearance of a surface color over a black substrate.

Even though I like the gray... I much prefer blue, and WR Blue or Ecurie Ecosse blue would look great that way, for my preference.

I dunno, the owner is a guy from Italy, but it seems to be an expensive paint job!

Yep, both colors looks almost the same, bue this subaru have a more chrome-like paint, even more shiney than Mazda´s Galaxy Gray (I have a Mazda picture but i dunno if i can post it here). I really want to know which paint he used, it makes the car looks more muscular.
