Bumper Respray...

Postby MaverickUK82 » Fri Jun 19, 2009 11:50 am

Hi guys.

Looking into getting the bumper re-sprayed on my new WR1 to remove the stone-chips, also to have the front splitter sprayed. I also considering a small sti spoiler (similar to the RB320).

The local re-sprayers, who resprayed my girlfriends pug206 done a good job, although, the colour match is slightly off and I can notice it. Her car is metallic goldy yellow colour.

Is this likely to happen to me as I don't want the bumper to be noticeably a different colour as you can understand.

Has anyone had this problem?
Are my local sprayers cowboys?
Would Subaru do it perfectly if they do it at all?

Any advice/info would be great!

Subaru, will most likely just use a local sprayer anyway bud, If you seek out a reputable paint sprayer then you will have no issues with colour match.
