paint

I have nearly finished my 8 year 40 frame-off resto. When starting I had only rattle-can painted, but after reading on the net, and get my youtube exam, I started shooting. Results are OK. Since I have a blog on overlanding and technical stuff I made a writeup there. It is pretty long.. How to...

Looking for as many opinions as I can get. Apologies if this thread is in the wrong place, but hopefully I can still get some solid replies 🤙 I have a 1991 80 series Landcruiser (Sahara model) that desperately needs some paint work as nearly every panel has clear coat peeling and paint fading...

Apologies on any mistakes here - this is my first post. Wanted to share some info with folks on what I've learned while trying to paint match my GX470's metallic interior trim in the center dashboard and console area. My vehicle has the beige interior, so not sure if this applies to the black...

Getting body panels or parts repainted can be expensive and time-consuming (mostly your vehicle sitting at a body shop in the queue). Some of our vehicles warrant only the best, but I got mine to have fun and paying someone else to paint the truck really didn’t make sense. I had some sun damage...

Any experience/suggestions for treating painted areas with minor rust like these spots under the grill?

I'm about to send my 1990 FJ62 to get painted for the first time since it left the factory in 1989. It spent the majority of its life in California under one owner so is beautifully maintained and completely rust free. The only real part of the car that took a beating was the paint from all the...

I will be needing a new paint job in the near future. Does anyone know of any affordable and trusted places near OKC?

I had to buy a new fuel tank. I bought a new OEM tank. It came a flat black color and really looks like it needs to be painted. What is the correct color for a 1973 fuel tank? Thanks!

Ok team - See pics. PO covered this up with his kids Crayola finger paint (or something) and now thats failing and showing rust. I've received a quote from the locally best priced collision repair shop, and they are wanting $1200 for the job. Gulp. I'm guessing I can get that down by...

Next possible projects on the 62 will include painting newly acquired bare metal sliders sliders and sound deadening/new carpet on the inside. @NCFJ has mentioned lizard skin products in some of his builds and I would like to try it. I have zero paint experience. Looking for some advice for a...

Looks like I am going to stay with the factory color on my LC. Dark Emerald Pearl 6M1 I believe is the correct color code. My friend used Campus Autobody when he had his RX7 repainted. I am looking for some recommendations on body/paint shops. His car came out amazing and I would like mine to...

In the process of restoring my white 88 cruiser. Not sure exactly which "white" color code is correct? Everything that I've seen thus far, points me towards color code 045, but the color swatch looks beige/tan, rather than white. Any assistance provided, is highly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Its time for me to pull the trigger on a paint job for my Baby and I’m looking for a decent place around Austin. I’ve seen some posts about Jack from LCS, I don’t know if he’s still around or not. Would love to hear if anyone has any recommendations. 1988 FJ62

I'm working on ordering everything I need for my upcoming paint job- those of you who have done it, did you replace all window and door seals, rubber gaskets, weatherstripping, body trim, window felts, emblems etc? Can any of it be reused? I know cuiserparts sells a weatherstripping kit, but I...

I know there have been threads on paint colors, but with all the new options out there, if you were to change colors completely, what color would you paint your 60? I'm really digging this new Toyota Calvary Blue. Especially if everything were blacked out.

I'm leaning towards grey (ash blue mica) or silver (silver pine/titanium metallic) BUT a few black (black onyx) GX470s have caught my eye... Anyone have any issues with the black paint... I had a civic back in the day and it had crazy paint swirls that drove me nuts... I'm guessing they'd be...

I've been searching for a 2013+ for awhile and originally discounted black as an exterior color due to the maintenance factor (harder to keep clean) and that blemishes tend to be more pronounced against a glossy, dark surface. My wife has a black Audi and I find that it doesn't take that much...

Hey Mudders, I am looking for someone to repaint my 85 FJ60 up in the Mount Vernon/Burlingon area. Not looking for Picasso, this isn't a show vehicle, but looking for someone that is willing to strip down and do a repaint. Might be some minor metal work, don't know for sure. Any suggestions?

Here are some pics of my 80. I am slowly getting it back into tip top shape. I am prepping for an Overland Trip from Florida to Colorado with my two lovely daughters before they are grown and gone. They are 19 and 17 now. Here's what I have done so far: Paint job All new wiring under the hood...
