Original Toyota Paint Colors Where?

[allfoden]

I want to repaint my FJ40 the same color Dune Beige (416) it is now. My local auto paint shop that sells mainly PPG does not have a listing that goes back that far. Has anyone found a manufacturer (Sherwin Williams, PPG, etc) that lists the old cruiser colors? I don't want to go with a mix that the store tries to match to my existing paint because they will not be able to duplicate it in the future.

Thanks,

Ed

I don't think it should be very hard for them to mix the color. As far as I know, lots of people have had it done. I don't know anything about the paints though, sorry.

You can get factory colors from TCPGlobal (this is a link). They say they are comparable to PGP.

I had my local shop mix up some Nasons brand paint, Dune Beige 416.

A lot of times if the paint store cant find the color in their system..they can match it off of something using their computer..we have a computer that takes a pic of the sample and gives us a formula to use and sometimes its right one but most times we have to tweak it..a clean flat surface is best to match with..
