Well I'm definitely going to stick with the factory color! I was thinking about getting my paint from Napa which I understand is rebadged Sherwin Williams. Not sure which SW it is but I used their Ultra 7000 on my last project and it is awesome stuff. Ever have experience with Napa paints?I just sprayed that color. I used Omni B/C and had to shoot 7 coats of base to get coverage because it was so transparent. At 5 coats it looked like it was covering but I added two more to be safe. Limco, by BASF covers much better but I already had Omni. They gave me an extra gallon for my trouble, so I actually shot 4 sprayable gallons of base!! I was not happy, but it turned out really nice. All the transparent layers give it so much depth. Also, in the sun it looks like a pearl, pretty interesting.
Well damn, seems non-Toyota like to just drill some holes and use some big ass sheet metal screws. But it was the wild and crazy 80s!Those I would think were just the screws for the stock luggage rack.
Shlt fire, that looks gnarly. Having done a roof in that area I remember how much fun that wasn't. But yeah, I wonder if the stock rack accessory would have come with backing plates and someone was like "No thanks, I'm not pulling the headliner. Sheet metal screws will do just fine."The stock roof rack on my HJ60 had a backing plate with welded nuts to hold on the rack. Toyota does it properly, even if it does leak and cause a ton of rust 30 yrs later...

I should have added ‘my guess.’ I really have very little background so I was talking out of my ass...Well damn, seems non-Toyota like to just drill some holes and use some big ass sheet metal screws. But it was the wild and crazy 80s!
