Painting - Colour Change!


So, originally the plan was to do a quick.....well not really quick, but basically a same colour respray. So all the preparation was done with same colour respray in mind. Deep down I didn't really like the original colour tho, I wanted it to be different. Something that stood out a little, but not so much as to lose the sleeper appeal. So I choose WRX blue - The most subtle colour ever...right? It was a semi difficult decision to change colour, as i thought the effort required to do this kind of colour change would be monstrous. But after a little chat with Brian, and a slight arm twist from Jen, we were on our way! The engine bay bits came out, everything pretty much came off the car. Turns out tho it wasn't as complicated as I'd originally thought. Thank God!


Eventually the car got to the point we could add some colour. Although at first grey wasn't an extremely exciting colour, it was colour none the less. This excitement doubled the first time I got to see the blue on the car! Granted it was only the inside of one of the doors, but it was amazing the difference it made compared to the original colour.

So here is the first ever bluebird blue bits! It was exactly how I thought it would look!
