Paint code info

[Guest]

Does anyone know if there is a factory silver colour for classic Subaru which is silver but has a blue hue to it.

Mate of mine has seen a Subaru with this paint but can't find the paint code, it could be a custom job, any ideas?

Most likely re spray silver with blue pearl in paint.

Doesnt cost much more to add to the paint but to much can change the colour of the paint and have a nil effect.. you should only be able to see the pearl colour in the right light on the edges etc.

Mixing pearl into the clear can bring up the effect even more but you only need a little bit in the clear i get good results with 2 double wet coats with pearl clear mix and then clear coats over that 3-4 times

You can also pearl clear over flat colours to get the same effect but seems more dazzling if its mixed with the paint as well

There some really cool pearls out there to add to 1k colours or layer on top with clear! no need to buy expensive 3 layer pearl paint kits to get the whoa effect.

You can buy pearl powder from any decent automotive paint supply shop.

Subaru black mica 47a is a color that comes to mind having pearl in it(red pearl) other than that its just black base coat paint.
