Looks fabulous! Is that Mustard Yellow 532? And who’s paint did you use, PPG? I envision single stage and I realize yours is base and clear but just curious what you used and how you like it. Thanks. TomI forgot to show pictures of the heavy-bodied seam sealer.
I dug out that non-curing gum-like product. This stuff is superior. Here is FACTORY goo:

Here is the 3M heavy bodied goo:

Keep in mind this cures very hard, you can barely get a fingernail in it, as opposed to the factory goo that is a bit more spongy.
Ok, after letting first coat of clear set:

Dave where/who plated your radiator shroud?Next was installing the radiator support frame, radiator and fan shroud along with a new fan. (It is so fun finally unwrapping all of these Toyota parts I've been stashing).

If I have dorked something up, let me know. I'm just lego'ing this thing together off memory...and this thing wasn't pulled apart yesterday!
Toyota color code 532, right?@tls3601 This is PPG Deltron 2000 DBC base color and DC4000 clear. I wouldn't shy away from doing a single stage. The reason I went base/clear is to have the opportunity to correct issues common from spraying outside. Wind....bugs....tree debris, etc.. Thank you!
I tried to get ppg single stage and they told me they couldn't make that color since they didn't have 2 of the components that contained lead, can you share more about the formula, or what I can go back to the paint shop with?Yes, sorry @tls3601 T-532 OEM Toyota Mustard Yellow
