Unhappy Need help with color!!

so I recently have an opportunity to paint my car. Way way long ago...aha there was a picture of two 06 japanese limited wagons, one was yellow and another like a mintish green color..does any one know where I can find this picture, or know the color code to the yellow that the car was in..Im pretty set on repainting the car a new color. Please give your opinion on a color to, I'm really going crazy picking a color..

In all seriousness, the color was most likely sonic yellow. Was it bright, or was it muted, like the '02 sedans or the old GT-B wagons?

Dude, I love yellow. I think the right yellow is so hot on a car.
FWIW, I prefer ones with a tinge of orange so they have some fire, but the cashmere yellow is classic and a bit more understated.

I think the other color you're talking about in that picture is called ice blue......its was on the WR1 in europe then became a normal color.

thats what I leaning torwds, not sure if they could get the exact "cashmere yellow"...but as far as the blaze yellow, would be fairly easy to match considering it was a color here in the states..NOW your opinions on an 06 wagon that blaze yellow.

Blaze yellow looks like margarine mixed with semen. Get sonic yellow. More manly.

Not a problem with a quality paintjob. Subaru factory paint is irrelevant.


Waits for Xevious to throw in on Blaze

What factory paintjobs do after 5 years is irrelevant. It's like saying early-90's Toyota reds faded so painting any car red is a bad idea. Doesn't hold water.

My sonic yellow had no issues in nearly 3 years (paint-wise)
