I have a 1976 FJ40 and I would like to know if the upper fuel neck evaporator cover was originally painted the body color or Peweter?
 
Pewter. (Originals from my one-owner '76, headed for the sandblaster)

Sweet thanks. I painted the rest of the stuff (glove cox, ashtray, speedo etc.) already and need to finalize the last of the pewter
 
Took a while to find where I had pictures of my 10/75 76 model. This is original like it left the factory. They are pewter from what I can tell. The fuel tank cover is body color.

My 2/73 are orange like the cruiser and does not have fuel tank cover, fuel tank is black. Also have 74 emissions and fuel tank cover that are Capri Blue. Some big changes 1/75 which may have been the change over date for the body to pewter. Believe the 1/79 body change the redesigned cover was body color again. Not around my 3/79 to check or have any pictures of this section.
 
That looks pretty close to original pewter! It’s hard to match, don’t ask me how many cans of paint I’ve bought.
