So, i was considering getting the entire truck repainted. I was debating between two options, when a third came to mind recently... All three options include replacing all of the silver plastic bits. They need replaced, regardless. Luckily, the passenger door has a dent in it, which is repairable (by replacing the door skin). The really difficult bits, the pillars, quarters, etc., are all dent-free.
The only body panels I'm going to eventually replace will be the hood, I want a CF hood, and the passenger side door skin will also get replaced.Option 1: White. Everything will be painted white. Bumper skins, side skirts, doors, fender and door trim. This is most likely the least expensive option. The only things on the exterior that won't get painted are the roof rails, roof racks, windows, hood, and the bed.
Option 2: WRB. Same exactly as above, except I'd do WRB. This was my first option, but... I don't quite think that WRB would look good on the Baja. I don't particularly like it on the Forester, it doesn't look... Quite right. It sorta feels like it would fit, as I'm planning on eventually building the engine, putting an FP Green turbo in, and swapping in a 6MT from a 2005-2007 STi.
Option 3: Carbon Fiber. By far, the most expensive option, I would repaint the metal parts of the truck white, but the plastic silver bits would be replaced with Carbon Fiber parts, and sprayed with a clear UV protection paint. The hood would be CF as well. Expensive, since everything would have to be one-off custom made... If I was going to do a show truck, then this would be #1 lol
As you can tell, I hate silver. All of the silver bits will eventually be removed, and replaced with painted parts, or CF.
I guess Option 4 would be to just paint it black, but... I don't know. The white has grown on me... Subaru #7, but it's also white Subaru #1 for me.
Any other ideas?
