202 Black — "What color is my Tim" Thread (1 Viewer)

[familywagon]

Hey everyone,

I'm getting my 01 ready for the market and I need to fix some trail damage and replace two trim pieces. I have checked online and I cannot decide if my trim is greyish-beige ( 75732-60120-E1 ) or medium grey ( 75731-60120-H2 ). I also don't think it's the Dark one ( 75731-60120-H3 ).

I have even gone around looking at other lc100s and still unless they are all the same, I'm having a hard time distinguishing between them but I assume if I order the wrong one it will be very obvious.

Picture is what I'm trying to match.

To my eye as a graphic designer of over 20 years, that lands directly in the medium grey, doesn't have any beige in it and does not seem dark enough to call dark. But the links don't have any color shots to compare to. Mine are the same color with the same fade scenario where there's a a darker section nearest the wheel well due to the removal of outer fender flares at some point.

Thank you. I agree it looks medium grey just want to make sure you know.

For reference here’s another Land Cruiser which I think would have the beige but I’m not sure, and it could have the medium grey as well

And for anybody in the future with the same problem — I removed another trim piece and the color code is not there.

isn't the paint code(s) printed on the sticker on the door jamb?

Someone else can chime in, but I believe a lot of these two-tones were done by the distributor. My 2000 LC is black (202) with the two-tone rocker panels. There's a paper label inside my glove box that reads "Gulf States Toyota Two Tone Dupont Formula # F-1114-K" (the formula number is handwritten) . I've had no luck finding out what that color code means, but I've only done internet searches because it isn't pressing.

The door just says the name of the leather inside. LA40 ( Macadamia )

Update:

It is H2- "Medium Grey" according to my Parts Guy at Toyota. I guess the dealers can see via the VIN which color it is but the websites can't!

Thanks for all the help.
