That would be awesome. Then you can throw a pinup girl on the back quarter.

Flat army green.

Do it. Will look awesome.

Only caveat is that if you're going to paint it a mean color, you're going to need to do some fender work so you can get it down on the ground. Flat colors = mean look with the right stance.

For the first time ever, I like the look of Slipstreams on a Subaru.

I think that car is pimp.I might stay with flatwhite for a bit though. That green is so much more appealing when I'm drinking,I just gotta commit when sober.

^I think that looks good. However, a lot of different paint jobs would work with that car and not others.

That was not a precondition of your acceptance of said link, only the existence of substantiating evidence.

Go Flat Green! It seems like a lot of people are going for the Darth Car Flat Black everything look. You don't want your car to look like veryone elses' do you?! Innovate and dare to be different is my vote

I just need a modular paint job. I need to be able to change a part and whip out a rattle can to make it match. The fancy purple metal flake paint job is years and a bunch of mods away.
