Paint. opinion

well my car is in the body shop for paint.

I just saw a picture of a car that got painted that sweet bmw dark grey color and it had the mirrors painted.

Made me go...hmmmmm. I was thinking of having it done but decided against it.

What do you guys think

2004 White WRX Wagon. Tinted windows. Will be running bronze or gunmetal 17's. Painted side skirts

I have to call and tell them to do it pretty quick here.

thanks for the opinion.

Grey looks really good on wrx. But I wouldn't paint it if I don't have to. It's going to cost a lot to paint the whole car. How much are you paying for it?

The only problem with getting it painted is that the door jambs(sp?) and sh*t will still be the original color. As much as I like the dark grey/anthracite/etc., I say keep it white. Unless you're stripping it bare to paint it in which case, go for it!

bah.....sorry guys....


My car is getting painted the same color.....my bad. My car is gonna stay white.

Just wondering if you think I should get the mirrors matched while it's in there?




I wish I could paint it seal gray or bmw dark gray but that would run me like $4-5k to get it done right. This is an insurance deal someone screwed up my paint slightly and I'm getting it repaired. I have money left over so I was thinking of matching the mirrors while it's there.

Definatly paint the mirrors..

On the 04's the outside trim of the mirrors is black, if it was on 02 that had the trim already white i'd say its more trouble then its worth for just the little pieces on the bottom, but since the face on the mirror is black i'd definatly paint it if I were in your shoes.
