I've got an '89, the last 3 digits of the VIN are '494. Is that the paint code? I have always heard it described as 'champagne', but I guess it's really beige metallic.

Found it inside the driver's door jamb on my '62. 4G8. Thanks!

Oops, for some reason I wasn't getting email notifications on this topic.
It does now!
Added it.
OK, got the new colors from that brochure added... stretched them from 81-83... if that is wrong then I will change it down the road.
Today! I actually was working on that when I discovered that this topic had tons of new information. I should have an FJ55 topic up within the hour.
Chris, did you get that color information from paintscratch.com? I have found their information to be very innacurate. I integrated your colors into the chart, but it seems strange that during 88-89 there would be two beiges that are nearly identical... and that during 88-90 there would be two grays that are so close. Something seems fishy.
Cool, it matches the chart info! I think I am going to assume that if your 1989 Beige is 4G8 then there was no 4E8 for that year.

Hmmm... I seem to have a small discrepancy in my info. My charts have the FJ55 ending in 1979 and the FJ60 starting in 1981. Is that an error or was there no 1980 Land Cruiser?

i have an '87 that isn't quite red. it's almost like a burnt orange and red cross.
the truck was repainted, but it seems to match the area's that were not touched up.
i have pics but it just looks red in them, but in person it's not really red.
where on the VIN tag is the paint code?

Yeah, I'm not 100% sure if your VIN plate is the same as this one, but possibly...
It should be on your firewall... can someone verify this?

Some from here and there including paintscratch (I have used their paints and the match is remarkable) but as I state on the page - the color codes are right but the colors themselves shouldn't be used for color matching. I 'll take a look at the colors you mention, maybe I plugged in the wrong hex codes.
Do you differ with me on the color codes themselves?

I wasn't worried about the hex codes... just wanted to know if you took the paintscartch data exactly as they had it. I've run into problems with their colors vs. years. It isn't always accurate and sometimes it isn't anywhere close.
Eventually I will get my hands on the brochures for each year and that should clear up any wrong information... for now it is good enough.

not to throw a monkey wrench into the works but your chart shows '86 only available in blue and silver metallic. i do not think this is correct.
i was talking to a guy who drives a white one that he said was '86 and the original paint.
does anyone have an '86 w/ color other than silver or blue? mine's blue. part original paint and part repaint.

This chart is a work in progress... I need people with Land Cruisers to shout out their years/color codes to get them added to the chart, or I need to see the brochure for each year. As I get the information I will complete the chart. I am aware that there were more than two colors for 1986, I just don't know the other colors yet!
is this chart just for american cruisers? here is a paint code for a black aussie cruiser

Yeah, for now it is just for the US. Maybe when I get this one done I will expand to other countries.

Right now I trust mine to be more accurate than yours from everything I know. I did make a couple errors in the hex codes for the colors you mentioned. I'll fix those soon.

Yeah, that is what I thought, too... but Landpimp is sure that his documentation is accurate. Maybe they were just very rare colors?

Well, I have your color information on my chart, so if yours is accurate then mine is, too. At least for 88-90.
