My Rickman was 22 years old at the time and the original gelcoat was badly oxidised and dull when I first painted it. All I did was to scuff it up with a green Scotch pad, wipe it with panel wipe and dust it off with a tack rag, nothing else. It's been painted twice since then, only because I fancied a change of colour, and was prepared the same each time and has not been washed or polished and lives outside full time and the only wear and tear is a tiny bit of flaking around the door handles which if I had prepared it better wouldn't have happened. It is only a Rickman after all so I didn't spend that much time or effort on it at all. |

Thanks for all the replies guys! Some cool looking rides in here Any colour suggestions for the Subaru? My current thoughts were either a light pastel blue or green, but the VIP's Arosa looks good in matt red. Only thing I definitely don't want are matt black or army camo type colours, not my bag. Imagine this lowered with white banded steels:  |

Imagine this lowered with white banded steels: I like your thinking, I would vote for a pastel pale turquoise/seafoam type colour. Luminous Green for example. www.montanacolors.com/webapp/spray# |

Simply because I could buy it over the counter near me (which was handy with the tight deadline I had) I used Molotow Premium for the green and Montana MTN 94 for the black. £4.00 a can and it goes on beautifully, looks great and would definiteyl use it again.  I know you're not after a military green, but in this instance it was the most appropriate colour. I concur that a pastel colour would look amazing on that (with a corresponding change in wheels and ride height  ) and my chouice would be the MTN 94 'Pistachio Green' code: RV16 or 'Frisco Green' RV124 if the Pistachio is too bright? |

Well you two are on the same wavelength as me, I'd been perusing the MTN94 colour chart before I asked and the three colours you've suggested are the exact three I'd shortlisted myself! |
