Hey y'all :
Do any of us here know of the actual color code of the 79-84 dark, bluish-gray roll bar ?
I'm aware of a Toyota Gray (T450), but am believing T450 is the lighter gray used on the wheels & seat frames. The roll bar is significantly darker (as shown here, below).
I'm also aware that Rustoleum has a rattle-can spray paint of Dark Gray, which is glossy. But although it's close, that also is not it (is not the industrial bluish hue of the roll bar - and is not a durable paint, even with a clear coat over it. It'll easily scratch & will fade from the UV of the sun).
Does anyone know ? . . . Or has anyone been successful in very closely reproducing the OEM roll bar color with a heavy-duty, industrial-grade coating ??
As a side benefit, if I & we can learn of the actual color code, we'll make it more easily searchable here, on this board - as lots of us peeps R champin' at the bit 2 kno.
However, If no one knows, I suppose it'll therefore be best to take the bluish-gray T450 & add a few ounces of black to it.
Thanks !!
