Randy,
I do not have the exact paint codes as I think that the painter fiddled with the recipe a bit. From memory I think that he also experiemented with the base coat colour as well?? Apparently this has a big effect on the appearance of the colour coats.
I do know that it started out as a standard Subaru colour. The blue from memory is called Subaru Blue Mica and the stripes are simply a pure silver.
I will have to contact the painter to get the exact description.

Just a standard two car garage Richard.
Like everyone else I could do with three times the space. The everyday cars have never been housed a day in their life but that a small price to pay. I can't complain though as I have seen guys working with much less space than I have.

The photos under "the re-build begins" makes it look 3x the size!
Keep the pics coming.

Very nice demister manifold you have there Peter!!!
I hope your painter wrote down exactly what he did for your colors - not just for me but for you should there ever be any cause to touch up or refinish a panel... | |

Great job, Peter! That blue really pops and sets off the silver nicely.
Well, once again I am rethinking my color scheme.
