Paint
I have a 92 that was repainted by Maaco shortly before I bought it. I bought it off of Ebay from a guy that owns a subaru dealership close to pittsburg. He said he repaints all of his cars before he sells them so they look nice. Well it looked nice but now has a couple chips in the paint, and basically I would like to have it repainted by someone that will do a better job. It is currently Teal. Which is what he said the original color of the car was. The car has a reconstructed title so it was in an accident at some point. In the engine compartment it has RED showing through some places where the paint has been scratched. My question is, did subaru use a red primer for these cars or was the car originally a different color?

Perhaps check the OEM paint code stamped on the inner part of the drivers side door, that will tell you... or wherever the hell they put it on these strange machines...
(yes, I said 'hell' - is that going to get me banned from this board? maybe a warning? myabe a detention from my second grade teacher?)

It can be found on the plate by the hood strut/strut tower on the driver's side. The car could have originally been a different color, but only 4 other colors were offered in 1992: What does the plate say? Pearl White 267 Claret 265 Liquid Silver 249 Ebony Pearl 235 Subaru did not use red primer. I suspect that since it has a reconstructed title, the car was in an accident involving the front end. Replacement parts, such as radiator support, inner fender parts/brackets or even fenders, may have been used from a 1993 or later red car and repainted teal. .

I just recently gave a long winded reply to what to look for when selecting a body shop to do your paintwork...seems alot of people are asking about it nowadays. Here's a copy and paste job:
Quote:
Just a side note: Re-doing someone else's body work is a pain in the.....rear... and I would reccomend having the car dissasembled,and stripped to metal on the outside. Bodywork is like building a...perfectly flat thing. Over someone else's bodywork, it's like building a perfectly flat thing on a rocky mountianside. Of course, you could buldoze that flat...but then you run into diffrent layers of garbage and clay and all kinds of hooey. It's best to just find somewhere like.....Montana....where there isnt anything there to begin with.

Do you know what the code is for the black top on the liquid silver and Pearl White? Is that the Ebony Pearl?
