Early fj steering wheel restoration

[73FJ40]

Hello @Birdhead ,

Nice work!

Here is a pic, I have them put a little extra metallic in it ( whatever they do ) for the metallic flake and that seems to work nicely. It’s called Toyota ash gray metallic

Do you happen to know the brand of paint, or the supplier you used?

Hello @Birdhead ,

Nice work!



Do you happen to know the brand of paint, or the supplier you used?

I’ll look when I get home.

 

[Birdhead]

Are you wanting the silver/grey color code?

 

[73FJ40]

Yes, the identifiers (code, manufacturer, supplier) of the "ash gray metallic" paint. Thanks!

 

[Birdhead]

Toyota ash grey metallic , matrix

 

[Birdhead]

What color code is that you are using on the gray parts?

Look at my latest post

 

[JLawson]

Those codes are different from an earlier post in this thread? Did you change the mix?

 

[Birdhead]

I may have had them add more metal flakes in it. I will double check when I get home.

Just finished one with a lot of damage, I think the owner will be happy.

Thank you for the compliment.

I had to do this one twice, I finished it and a crack showed up after the clear coat, so I basically had to do it two times. Stuff happens and I wanted it to look nice.

 

[Birdhead]

Another one finished.

Any chance you work on the 73+ wheels? I think I can find a new center horn button, but the wheel itself needs a lot of love
