Pictures, New paint, New color!

[subaruster]

Guys, I decided in Feb to paint my 96 SVX with a new color. I was never a fan of the polo green or any green color car. My personal opinion is the SVX looks best in RED, including the trunk and roof.

I was having a hard time choosing between Brilliant Red and Barcelona. I went with Barcelona with help from (cozykat)! The shop that did the job is pretty well known. As you can see, door jams, trunk, most under the hood was painted. Both bumpers, tail lights, and fenders (thanks pearlm30 for fenders) and all plastic panels were removed and painted separately. The roof and hood was stripped completely before being painted.

Overall I am happy with their work except it took over 60 days. I told them to take their time to make sure it was done right. I drove my XT6 while she was being painted.

With 73k miles I am going to drive her less now. It was bought from the original owner with 44k miles a few years ago.

Here are the pictures of the progress. The PPG paint used has a lifetime warranty.
