Toyota Paint in Spray Cans

I have been told several times that you can buy Automotive paint in aerosol (spray) paint cans. I am looking for #622 Nebula Green and #012 Cygnus White. Does anyone have any idea where I can get them? Hopefully someone will work in a paint store or know of one online that id familiar with the old toyota paint codes.

Thanks,
Ryan.
 
i got a few cans of cygnus form an auto paint store a couple decades ago. check your local yellow pages.

denverites can check at denver car color.
 
did toyota use the same red on all fj40? what is the color code for the 9/70, red.
 
Hi, I'm new here, and I'm repairing my toyota, and I must decide the color of paint. Does some body here knows what color this is?
Thank you

I think that that is the lighter one, not the darker, but I am not sure.

I think landpimp dubbed it "baby $hit" which is buffalo brown
 
Dr. Claw. Is that orange/pink cruiser really a cruiser color? Did you take that picture?

653 is Olive Green, not Olive Brown. The color of that Cruiser is not even close to Olive Green. It's more like an Army Green.

I guess that would depend on your monitor. Looks like brown with a green tint on mine. Maybe a better picture would help. I got the color and code from the CCOT site.
 
Seems to me that No one is sure what colors were produced for a specific year. (Run overs and short runs)
I've been watching this thread for information on what colors were produced for 1972. I have something that looks like a light beige. This is from underneath where the black stuff in the fender well has peeled off, so there wouldn't be as much sun fade. If some one could Identify the colors by paint chips, I would be happy to send a chip in to them.
Thanks
 
Cygnus White #012

PO Painted it, Not sure where he got the paint.

top looks like pueblo brown that was used at least in 74
 
OK, how about this color? My 40 was built in Dec. 1963. The color is a pinkish tan, and looks to be a factory, or else very thorough, paint job. The same color is in the engine bay, glove box, under the dash, etc. I've seen a few other 40's with a similar color (Metaltech ad in the latest TT), but don't know if this is a factory color or not. All info is appreciated!

Thx!
Chris
