 yea because if you put your side skirts back on when there colour coded it wont all meet up it will be like flare-gap-skirt if you get what i mean

Yeah i get you. I cant see it being too hard to modify some universal flares to fill the gap. I was surprised to find a set for a gen 2 so snapped them up. Also will need some bigger wheels to fill them out. Will probably get rid of or paint the dog leg trim piece as well

Race car style

Did ya notice racecar is a wagon ??

[Barbbachello]

I think they are different flares

Also brakes done smell anymore and they havent made anymore grinding noises so fingers crossed. Pedal travel has increased a bit so im thinking a WRX master cylinder/booster upgrade might be in order at some point

Having a go at painting a flare/trim today. 240, 600 sanding, plastic primer, 1500 sanding and colour today. Leaving it overnight then clear tomorrow. If it comes out ass they'll be done by pros but looks acceptable so far

Once the base coat has flashed off, you can then spray clear over the top.

1/2 hour to 1 hour should be enough time between base coat & clear coat.

 

All this does depend on the ambient temp. Around 25 Deg would be perfect.

 

I would not leave it over night, to much shit will settle on it.

Interested to see how the flares look.

Theres some pics earlier in the thread

And ..........    How did they come out ???

[Barbbachello]

Theyre ok. Looks like a bug or something stupid landed on them as theres a tiny spot in it. Also 2/4 of the flares are textured so i tried to remove the texture, but obviously i didnt get it all off as its come through the paint. Might chuck some regular filler primer over the plastic one for the other one Ill live with it though. Will be getting some a quarter panel painted this year so might get them done at the same time

[Barbbachello]

Finished product. No orange peel or runs so thats good at least, just more sanding and some filler primer

[Barbbachello]

Rears are on! Now theyre colour matched theyre growing on me. Tiny gap where tape doesnt cut the mustard so will get some adhesive in there at some stage. Fronts will be done by wednesday hopefully. Will be looking modding some gen 3 outback flares to meet up with the skirts

Stand further back

[Robert]

[Barbbachello]

[Hypnotic]

Stand further back

 

+1. And perhaps a side shot if you can?

 

I do like them.

[Barbbachello]

I'll see what I can do when I finish work. Otherwise it'll have to wait till tomorrow. I think the tape was starting to come undone so might have to get some stickier tape this week. They're screwed on so they won't come off luckily
