Whats the best place to get the pewter color paint? I purchased some early fj40 seats that I need to restore for my 1964 fj40 and will need to paint the frames before I reupholster them. I have seen the paint in spray cans a few places in spray cans but would really like to get a quart. Thanks in advance!

Maybe bring a local paint supply a piece they can scan.

If you do go spray can route, I’ve been using rustoleum satin nickel and it’s dead on match to my eye.

Yep. KISS principle. Don't make it any harder than it has to be. No one will know any different, or care it its slightly different.

My paint shop matched mine. When I was getting my '69 FJ40 repainted, I saw that Cool Cruisers had some not in spray cans. Here is the link to theirs -- https://www.coolcruisers.com/painsilpew.html

I think this is the way I am going to go. Easy to get! I was hoping to put some through a paint gun but this will work too. thanks @Skreddy
