Hi Folks,

Any chance you know the paint code for a red 1988 BJ75? I want to touch up a spot or two

I am also wondering what your recommendations are for sourcing the paint and clear coat. And, what other paints I should have on hand to match the color?

I have ZERO experience with body paint, so my nplan has been to clean, scuff, prime, paint, and clear. I d like to learn, so if you have recommended reads or videos I should consider, I would be thankful.

It looks like this:

Your's should still be a regular 3B. The change occurred at different times in different markets, but in Europe, I believe the change occurred at the end of 1988.
 
The Australian and Japanese BJ73 got the upgrade in 8/88. I cant actually see 3B II in the parts diagrams but 8/88 is when they got the new cam shaft and bearing. In any case, 3B II is stamped in big letters on the rear left upper side of the engine block

Interesting. Mine was manufactured in 1987, so given that and that I don’t see 3B-II on the engine, it’s gotta be the OG 3B :smokin:
 
Just an FYI that ORIELLY autoparts sold me two little bottles with a brush for $24, of 3F4. I used some and if you can believe it, it matches perfectly. :)

Do you have a picture of the brand it is? I’d like to pick up some white and will need some help explaining to the local oreilleys
