1998 Subaru Impreza 2.5 RS: Project TrackWhore :: Part 4 : Paint

Welcome to Part 4 of the Project TrackWhore build.  With the holidays coming up, as well as, being swamped with work, I haven’t had the time to update this project as fast as I would have liked.  Nevertheless, let’s see the car fresh out of paint:

Color of choice: Evo MR Grey.

After seeing the finished product, Project Phoenix created by John2.5RS and coming from the Evo world with EvolutionM, I thought the color was appropriate.

A week prior to  paint day, I decided to order a few body parts to thrown in with the car in the paint booth:

1. Version 5 Rear Wing

2. Rear Spats

3. 99 RS Front Bumper (replaces the older 98 front bumper)

4. Aluminum Hood

5. 22B Front Fenders (Replica)

Overall I’m very happy with the paint job from A&D (they don’t have a website, but you can call them at (301) 279-9900).  The color came out very nicely and I couldn’t be happier with the color choice.  I’m also very happy that the fenders in the rear were rolled prior to paint, since I have a notorious habit of chipping paint when I try to roll them myself.

Next item on the list of to-do’s is to get the car back to DPS Tuning and start the chassis prep for the new parts going into the car.

Just a hint: removal of sound deadening, painting tub, installing new wiring harness, and more.  Check back here soon for the next article.
