I found your post and the pic from shane
for the volcanic beige
so mine will be the coronado beige , wich is moor darker and redish!!

I like them both, but inside is a little darker. I like them both...

Shane recently painted his '64 FJ40 Volcanic Beige. I'm hoping he will share the paint code with me...

due to your attention to detail...I'd be supprised if it weren't T451 Coronado Beige

[thanks Jhony
Wel I all ways double check (like model maker)
So Yes I think same , coronado beige is a 20 % darker than volcanic beige, and now we going to star painting
Wish me luck and a lots of inspiration!!

You, Sir, are an amazing craftsman! I wish that I could afford to hire you to restore my 76 FJ40.

I cannot tell you how fascinated I am by this thread. You are motivating all of us to be better restorers.

Keep up the AWESOME work!
