New to FJ40's

[RixFJ40]

I am new to restoring FJ40's, used to work on old corvettes. I recently purchased a very clean and original '79. It does not need any body work but it has minor chips. Where can I purchase sky blue paint that will match and what is the color code for the top and where can I purchase that color.
thanks

I don't find that FAQ link very helpful.

The color code for your cruiser is on the ID plate under the hood

This thread has a lot of info on colors including a lot of the color codes with pics.

You may be able to match it from pictures here but I would take the color code from the ID tag to a paint shop and they can mix whatever kind of paint you want to use. Factory for a 79 should be single stage.
