My door jamb says my paint code is 1A6. As far as I can see my paint is original. I ordered that at the local paint supply. Test sprayed a part today and it's not even close to a match. The 1A6 comes out a darker grey color and my cruiser is more like a bluish grey. Looking at this site 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser Colors of Touch Up Paint - https://www.automotivetouchup.com/touch-up-paint/toyota/1997/land-cruiser/
it really looks like my color could be code 1A0. Picture of my cruiser below.
Did the colors related to each code change at some point? I suppose that the shop could have messed up the color mix but I really have no way to confirm that. Honestly based on the web site above it looks like they got it close. At $25+ a can I don't want to buy too many of these to test the color. Any thoughts?
