so looks like the only other color it could be for 1964 is solar red?
anyone have the paint code for solar red?
The peeps painting my truck said the stuff i ordered was of questionable quality...
( basically had no idea what brand it was )
Any of you have an early 60's fj40 in solar red?
Any other red it could possibly be?

You have any pics of what you painted?

Then why not find a place that can scan a clean section of your rig, copy that color, and go that way for a perfect match to your rig?
I tried looking up a PPG code for solar red, and could not find it on the sites I've used in the past

We need some Nebula Green Pigs in this thread!
Also, it looks like some of the early pictures are no longer linked. Can people check their original posts?

But since dark colors always seem lighter when sprayed over a large area, this is probably a good indication of what a vehicle painted in these colors would look like.
Left to right they are:
Greyish Olive (6H9)
Fashion Green (T303)
Breath Green (T1654)
FWIW, Fashion and Breath Green seem to be different shades of the same basic color (hue?). If you had two vehicles painted in these colors I bet they would be hard to tell apart unless parked next to each other. Rustic Green, Fashion Green and 6H9 seem to be about the same shade, but with pregressively stronger olive tints. Breath Green is alot closer to Nebula Green that I thought it would be.

Would you say that Nebula Green falls between Fashion and Breath Greens?

Not really. Fashion is a sage green color. Breath Green is the same (hue? tone?) only lighter. Nebula is about as light as Breath, but also a totally different green, sort of a light pastel green (almost mint green). Hard to describe, but here's a picture of a Nebula 40:

Need help or opinions on what the color code is for this one. It's a 71 FST, heard it could be Sea foam Green, if it is what is the code?

Anyone know where I can get a color sample of Rustic Green 621? I went to Napa to have some mixed and they said they don't have the old enamal to mix the paint from the codes they have in there books? I'd like to have a swatch of it so I can take to ACE and have a gallon of their Rust Stop mixed so I can start the painting process. If anyone has any ideas on what I can do to get a good sample, I'm all ears!
Nick

I do not see Breathe Green on this list:
Toyota Reference - Information and Specs for all USA Toyota, Lexus and Scion Cars
I do see Fashion Green and Judson Green (?) as options for earlier Pigs, but not for my '74. Fashion Green looks to have cut off in '71, Judson Green looks to have cut off in '72.
It looks like the only options for green Pigs in '74 would be Rustic or Nebula.
I think mine is too light to be Rustic.
WTF is Judson Green?

TJ:
I have a spray-out card of Breathe Green that another mudder shared with me; if you would like I could send you a sample; then you can go to an Ace hardware and have them color match a quart for $10 and test it in an inconspicuous spot!
PM me your mailing address if your interested.
Brian

I have discovered that chart is not that accurate for all years.
It's Breathe Green... It might be Nubula, but I doubt it...
this is Rustic... and Judson Green

Greek or Belaw -
Do you have any color samples of Rustic Green? I'd like to get some of that mixed at ACE to test.

If you look on your door jam you can see that the paint is darker...Not as much sun exposure = less fade. I say that your faded part does look like Breath green, but going by the door jam it could be Rustic Green. The color in the door jam has almost an aqua hue, but computer monitors don't always represent colors well. Polish up a section in the door jam and compare it.

Looking inside the gas door makes me think its Nebula now. Thats the best representation so far I have seen. I still think it may be Breathe...

Could be... Belaw is sending me a spray out.
I just can't find any Toyota literature that supports Breathe Green on a 55 in 1974?
