I'm having my FJ60 completely stripped, rust repaired (roof/a pillar/windshield), doors/tailgate/glass/bumpers removed, dents fixed, primed, paint/clear/wet sand done currently. It should be done in about 3 weeks thru my buddy's bodyshop and has been under the knife already for 3 weeks. It will be painted the factory original rootbeer brown with most likely some pearl thrown in (small amount).
I plan to install new taillight/turn/running light lenses and LandCruiser/4WD emblems to make it look fresh (they are slightly faded... not too bad though).
I've so far looked at Man-a-fre and Liquidoffroad. Both offer them but their pricing differs drastically.
Can anyone comment on the quality, color trueness, and durability (meaning withstanding the elements/fading) for each company thru their experiences?
Can you recommend any other vendors and your experience/feedback?
I'm spending quite a bit on this exterior "restoration" and want to do it right. Next comes interior sounddeadening (peel and seal tar), new carpet, different front seats, and a nice stereo system which I will be tackling.
Thank you in advance! I love my Cruiser.
