paint

The previous owner painted the truck, and it looks like they painted over pretty much all of the seams. Painted seam by Aaroneous posted Feb 5, 2017 at 12:01 PM I need to pull the engine and replace it, and everything I've read shows folding down the front grill. I don't see any way of doing...

I wanted to knock out some interior work but couldn't find a matching plastic paint. I was digging through my spray paints and came across an almost perfect match. This is interior plastic trim paint for a 69 gto with gold interior. I got it from Ames performance for my goat. It's called mustard...

Anyone ever heard of toyota paint color GY5?

Thought I'd start a thread about favorite paints you use -either rust converters or for clean metal- kind of like a "pet handloads" of ammo, just for paint. I have no experience with John Deere paints, so would like to hear on those myself. My favorites: ==Clean metal - Rustolium Industrial...

To help the next FJ40 newbie on the powder coating stock wheel color code search quests, I offer the RAL color codes based on those mentioned in the ih8mud threads since 2005: RAL 7023 -- Concrete Grey RAL 7033 -- Cement Grey RAL 7037 -- Dusty Grey RAL 7040 -- Window Grey While I noticed a...

Hello Everyone, I am about to begin the body work on my restoration of a 1977 FJ40 California Model. I know the body paint code is 532 Mustard Yellow as listed on the option sheet inside the glove box wall. However, I am still confused as to the proper white color for the Hardtop and front...

hey everyone, so trying to get back to the land cruiser. Any advice would be appreciated. I am thinking it would be best to remove and replace the weather seals versus masking and painting around them, i could barely get a fingernail under them and they are pretty dried up with the florida...

The paint on my LX450 is starting to look pretty bad. I also want to pull off all the dumb body cladding and fill the holes. I went to a local paint shop and got a quote for 6 to 8K. I totally get why paint is expensive and feel that this is a fair price for the shops labor. If this was a hot...

I dug this out of my dad's garage and thought you guys might get a kick out of it. Apparently your new FJ60 came with a fresh can of paint to match. Too bad this isn't nearly enough to cover what the truck needs now.

They aren't. At least mine isn't. I bought an lx450 bumper (or at least something with the chrome trim) used and planed to paint it and replace my damaged one on my 97 40th, I found out today that the wing mounting is different and even the length of the bumper is slightly different (bumper...

Got a mate with a two tone 60 series. Code on engine bay is 2WO - FM11 and i cant find 2WO anywhere. wondering if you guys knew were to find it or if anyone knew the two colors seperate codes. thanks :)

Have used search and Beno is on vacatio . Does anyone have a link or resource for the (matte) black roof hardware paint? I say matte because mine seems pretty matte, but OEM may not be. Thanks in advance, and sorry if I've missed a previously covered thread. J

Hey all. Looking to get my '88 FJ62 repainted in the Dallas area. I could do some of the prep work myself (removing trim, door handles, lights and grill, bumpers, etc.) but not the sanding work. I live in an apartment community and don't know where I'd manage it! I've read everything from...

Apologies for the frivolity of this post, but I'm hoping someone here can give some guidance... Recently I had a run in that required some paint work on my fender flare (moon pearl). It was a small area the body shop initially intended to blend. Through a series of ineptitude a including losing...

Hey Guys! I have a 1990 JDM (Japanese Import) Toyota Master Ace Surf van, and I am looking to have a portion repainted. All the paint shops I called cannot seem to find the pint code, it's listed as "21L" both on the VIN plate and when I search ToyoDIY. I've also googled around but cannot find...

After tinkering with a diesel FJ55 for the last 5 years I was missing having a SWB 40, fate would have it my friend Georg happened to be selling one for a client about the same time. The truck is a '76 he had built for a local local pilot to run the Rubicon, it's not perfect but as rust free as...

I have localized rust spots and I'd like to fix and respray each spot and keep original paint every where else. Every painter says I have to do the whole panel to match. By that time it becomes all the panels needing a respray. Has anyone had success at doing localized paint matching after...

Hi, I bought myself a used 3L Toyota engine. It looks like this: As you can see the lower section of the engine has some rust. I would like to paint the engine and make it like "new" again. Can anyone recommend a way of doing that? The plan is to remove as many parts as possible and start...
