Jack of some, definately master of none.
The local paint shop is recommending the PPG delfleet essential single stage paint for my fj40 paint job. The one thing they cannot do is paint match with a Code, unless I get the cheaper shopline version $350ish or the much more expensive ppg single stage (concept $800ish). I am removing the rust in the exterior panels (new quarters, new rear sill, patch in a solid floor pan) but keeping the frame and body connected and NOT doing a frame off restore, I will have some rust I can't get to.
My question is, does this 4 runner look close to a freeborn red FJ40? It is "Toyota Radiant Red" in the defleet essential ppg.
I attached a couple pictures of my factory original faded-rusty freeborn red paint from 1978.
I guess if people want to discuss the cheap PPG single stage shopline paint I am open to using that, but the paint guy said they have had great luck with the delfleet essential single stage paint. And honestly with some of the hidden rust I won't get to in this frame-on situation, and doing it within my budget, $800 concept paint isn't in my budget for a long while.
