More Paint Questions

[RickD]

Getting ready to paint my '82 FJ40. It's Freeborn Red - got that.

Looking for guidance on these colors though...

1 White part of the hard top. Is it a flat or gloss? Paint code ?
2. White grille insert. Is it white or creme color?
3. Is the black grille insert flat black or gloss

Thanks

 

[FJ40 that green thing]

From what I have seen, the later model FJ40's had a pure white color roof and bezel in gloss. The black grill insert I would paint a black gloss or semi-gloss. If you are having paint mixed up at the auto supply place around town, they can usually look up what colors were used during each year by vehicle manufacturer. The older FJ40's (previous to 79?) had kind of a khaki tone white on the roof and bezel but I'm pretty sure the later models went to a pure white. Anyone else on this?
