Release Series Colors?
 
posting because I was curious as to what colors you guy would want on the Release Series FRS's

My vote goes for a nice Green or the high voltage yellow on the RS 7.0. tC


your thoughts?

Laguna Seca blue or Grabber Blue would be awesome.

A nice green would be nice!

Yellow or Green would be awesome!

RS Scion colors usually look amazing. Potential for RS releases is the one thing I think Scion has over Subaru in the NA market.

I wonder how release series are going to work with all the cars coming from a Subaru factory. It probably means no release series unique colors.

that has never stopped them using a unique color before, scions now are made in factories that make different makes of toyota that don't have room for the colors they have used on RS before.
the last first gen xB RS was even a Maziora color that was only ever offered from toyota on the special edition bB and RS xB.

IMO they might use WR blue as an easy RS color, and scion does like bright light blue colors on their popular models, but otherwise a nice dark red like the concept or a green would be awesome.

They must just run a line of them at once with the special color... but I have no idea how factory paint works on the assembly line.

I am pretty sure that is what they do. A run of 800 cars and then reset up the equipment for normal runs. It would make sense.

Oh yeah I remember that, first time I saw a Mazoria color offered here in the US

I must admit it was nice not my taste, but it was nice

Talk about a cool clean room.

I'd want the FIVE AXIS Candy Apple Red!

Hopefully something similar to the RS 2.0 blue. :thumbsup:

painting at factories is pretty advanced, they can paint one car yellow and the next car on the line can be painted red using the same robotic sprayers.

the limit comes in at how many "spots" a factory has for different colors.

IMO, with the RS being limited runs of like 2000 units or much less, seems like its really a matter of where/when they can or want to change a paint spot out.
