I just bottled Subaru WR Blue Pearl that will be available in a few days. It seems the common go-to paint for replicating this color is Tamiya Mica Blue. I've never sprayed Mica Blue, so I was wondering if anyone who has that is familiar with the Subaru color could shed some light on how the two colors compare.
Pictured below is an Impreza finished with WR Blue Pearl.

Mica blue is slightly darker than the actual WR cars, the blue of the road car is also not a true match to the WR car.
I'm assuming you've matched the blue to the road car?

Yep, I bottled the factory finish for the road car. I haven't checked closely but I assumed the rally cars used the same finish.
