Going to be hard to find a red alloy bonnet. As the Aussie delivered STI's weren't released in red (correct me if I am wrong).

Will be hard to find.... better off looking for a black one perhaps, so it doesn't look so mismatched?

HAHAHAHAHA are you serious? So when you crash your car or some prick runs into the back of your car, you're going to ask your insurance company to respray the entire car because you will be able to tell the colour difference between the freshly painted panels and the rest of the car?

Can I have some of what you're smoking? It seems to improve eyesight.

You realise that at racewars your car is going to be in the vicinity of porsches, ferraris, lambos etc?

Paint job or no paint job, even the most immaculate wrx is going to look like shit.

In her defense, I'd love to meet a painter that can perfectly match 20yr old faded paint (incl. colour, finish , shine etc) to such an extent that the difference is not noticeable at all.

I don't know but I guess it would be having people that don't even know me, people I worked with and even my own family telling me everyday that I'm an idiot that has a shit car that will always be a piece of shit and that I should just give up because I'm wasting my money.

And all these people don't seem to understand that doing this was making me happy yet they would still call me stupid for doing what I want... whatever because I'm at the stage where I can't take anymore of this bullshit and I give up.




Trolley I'm serious, you said it yourself why spray one panel and then get the rest of the car done soon after.... whats the point I'm getting it done all at once so it will be perfect the first time and if you think I'd get the whole car resprayed after an accident you're an idiot....... what the fuck are you smoking?

I don't want to have a mismatched car with red,blue and black panels when I compete so I will try and find a red alloy bonnet if I can and I will also swap back my damaged front guards so at least from a distance my car will look like one colour and no one would mistake it for the piece of fucking shit that it is.

Why dont you rattle can it gloss black or something for race wars? Will cost like 300buks and look Presentable.....from a distance..... from a long distance.

oh for sure you'll never match old paint, but the way I read Cat's post was that she was going to get some panels painted now and some later on. Fuck, I'm confused. Too much stupidity

edit: I'm the stupid one - Cat means she will be able to tell the difference between her OLD paint versus the NEW paint.

So either have mismatching red tone for a while, or mismatching coloured panels. FUCK.
