Anyone in the Austin TX area have a 100 series that is galactic gray mica? I'm in the middle doing a bunch of body work and I'm considering changing color to galactic gray and want to see it in person. Also considering the Atlantis Blue Mica.....
Anyone in the Austin TX area have a galactic gray mica 100 that I can see in person?

You don't need to see it in person. Galactic Gray Mica is a killer color. Just do it.
Not mine...but you get the idea.

With the level of respray you're doing, I'd be so tempted to go off-menu with it and pick a non-OEM color. Even better, a classic/vintage OEM color - can you say Seminole Red 100?

This is my ‘04. It changes color with the lighting due to the metallic flecks in the paint.
River Rock Mica is a nice color on a 100 series also.

I'm biased because my 100 is this color and it's 100 series exclusive as far I know. Galactic Gray Mica is nice but it's not a 100 series exclusive color, 4Runners come in Galactic Gray Mica.

Paint colors are such a personal choice that we'll never reach consensus. Everyone has a preference, colors we love or hate. I like both of those colors a lot, but I like the Atlantis Blue Mica more because it's a rarer color.
And yes, I do like to go outside of the standard pallet. When I get my white 100 painted (was going to do it this summer but might wait a bit given the economy), I'm going with a non-US OEM Toyota color used in other markets but never in the US and never in the 100 series. I'm sure a lot of people will hate it (my wife already puked all over it) but I love that color and the fact that there won't be other 100s in that color. My cup of tea, right?
Can't wait to see which one you pick out! And if you ever need help wrenching, I got a couple of 100s in the driveway and enough tools to serve as brute labor, happy to help!

Very true! I'd love to see what you pick out when your ready to pull the trigger. I'm up in Round Rock, If I ever get it finished I can swing by sometime.
Had a River Rock Green 100 and it was amazing...a greyish/army green metallic. Looks perfect with tan interiors.

I'm in Austin near Mopac and 45th with a galactic gray mica (currently a nice shade of yellow thanks to the pollen). I love the color and how much in can vary in different light but im definitely biased.
