scroll and select toyota
click on "go"
click on the hyper link
click on any of the hyperlinks (A, L1, L2 etc...)
Formula is there !
or since it's your top paint it 031 or 033 and call it a day.

1. There were a few colors for the pre 71 bezels ranging from a tan to a very white color (and chrome too).
2. T302 Shell Ivory formula is lost to the ages.
3. As LP mentions, the top and bezel colors don't always match.
4. I've obsessed long enough regarding this color and am gonna match up the original roof color and heading out today to get a quart or two and paint the thing and be done with it! (I'll repaint my top as well. I also found out that the clips that retain the tire jacking stuff on the wheel well were also painted this white color.)
Since I can't take the roof to the paint store, I'm gonna go with my wifes choice using a color chip from Lowes and have the shop match it up.
