Top and Bezel are " Cygnus White".

Thank you so much!

A fellow Mudder (Propilot) agreed to share some Toyota green sprayouts with me, and I thought I would return the favor by posting them in the "official" color code thread. These pictures were taken in full sunlight and are slightly washed out; in reality they are just a touch darker (at least darker than they show up on my monitor). But since dark colors always seem lighter when sprayed over a large area, this is probably a good indication of what a vehicle painted in these colors would look like.

Left to right they are:
Greyish Olive (6H9)
Fashion Green (T303)
Breath Green (T1654)

FWIW, Fashion and Breath Green seem to be different shades of the same basic color (hue?). If you had two vehicles painted in these colors I bet they would be hard to tell apart unless parked next to each other. Rustic Green, Fashion Green and 6H9 seem to be about the same shade, but with pregressively stronger olive tints. Breath Green is alot closer to Nebula Green that I thought it would be.

It seems odd to me that the codes ahve different number to letters and numbers in them?
Specifically, the Breath Green T1654. Most of the color codes I have seen were just 3 digit codes (Ex: Nebula Green = 622)

Pablo I am not convinced that the roof and bezel are cygnus white. I painted my cruiser cygnus white and is not a bright white like roofs. It is more off white or biege. Just saying make sure you check it out.

Pumpkin orange

Does anyone have a paint code for pumpkin orange? I do not believe it is 304 Pollux Orange and suspect it is closer to the formula posted by Al Jacobs. Is there a way to get the PPG formula posted by Al Jocobs converted to other manufacturers?

Thanks

The brighter top and bezel white is Shell Ivory.

Anyone have what's supposed to be my color and code. I'm restoring it to stock, its some type of white but the paint on mine is pretty gone to tell. 6/1970 FJ40.

Thanks!

Oh no here comes the Bezel Police... darn thing was put like that by PO, bolts are dead stuck in there...

 

[My wife said no FJ!]

The brighter top and bezel white is Shell Ivory.

Would you happen to have the paint code for Shell Ivory?

 

[3doghouse]

From earlier in this thread:

Has anyone ever found the PPG paint code for T302 Ivory Shell for the the older had top roof panels?

I tried to find it on line with out success

I don't have a PPG paint code but I did see a reference for Shell Ivory as A-T0195. Not sure if that is of any help.

Thanks much!

 

[Pistorman]

Probably a dumb question, is the hard top-fiberglass top also Olympus White?

Thanks!

I thought they were always cygnus white.

SpectraMaster BS313

This was my first kick at the can and it's getting repainted, but I thought I'd post for reference. This is SpectraMaster BS313. Much lighter than what I intended but interesting none-the-less.

Capri Blue Panel - BS264???

My paint shop had a formula for 1970 Capri Blue (T-310) and they were able to mix it in Centari single stage. I sprayed up a panel and here's how it looks. The first pic is with a flash and is a little closer to life. I matched it by eye to the SpectraMaster blue series book and it crosses to BS264. BS184 is also really close, but a little lighter. This blue looks very vintage to me, with a hint of aqua and gray. I'm going with it and will post pics when finished.

Does anyone know if this looks correct (maybe you got to see a real Capri Blue truck back in the day)? It's the best I could do with my research.

Anyone?

Update: I Confirmed that this is 653.

T302 Ivory Shell

Since I have not been able to find anyone that could work with the T302 code, BJEC69 was nice enough to go out and have his bezel scanned, and the results was code LS 124.

I picked up some paint sample cards at Home Depot and WalMart, and one of the WalMart cards was a PERFECT match for one of my older (nicer) tops.

I went to my local Dupont guy, and found the LS 124 pretty dark. Actually, when I compared it to my WalMart paint card, my WalMart paint card was a PERFECT match for the LS 122...this makes my top 2 shades lighter then the clean bezel that was scanned.

We are getting pretty close to a workable match...can anyone with an older Cruiser please try and double check to see which, LS 124 or LS 122, will be the best match for the older T302 Ivory Shell color??

Thanks
