Here's my 1977 in 6H9.

 

[CHCP]

Its time to think about paint. 6H9 is a favorite but there seems to be a lot of variations.
I'd like to know more about this color of the cruiser found on google.
anyone know the owner? mudder?

These two look pretty close, what did you use to paint the panel, do you by chance have a formula?

I mated Gumby with my friend's Rangie this past weekend. Sacriligious I know.

We are hoping they give birth to a D90.

It's powder coated with Juniper Green code GN60-P Spectrum according to my coater.

Heres my 83 bj42 in Rustic Green, 621.. With a little extra white mixed in.

Thanks for your time and effort. I've been trying to match this color all day by using rgb and hex paint formula numbers. The hex number I got is 55583d but it doesn't cross to another available color. Close matches are 555d3f (NCS 6530-g50y) and 556b2f dark olive green. Do you have any preference for auto paint companies?

 

[Awl_TEQ]

@CHCP , My signs are powder coated not wet coated and I don't know nuthin about paint, or much else if you ask some people

 

[CHCP]

oh, that's a powder coat. I don't know anything about powder coat

Anyone have a photo of a LC in T453 Judson green, T1508 Tantalus green and or T1540 Malachite green? Looking for a dark forest green

Here's a T453 Judson Green on a '69 that was within the classifieds here on this forum, back in 2012.

Toyota has of course produced a whole spectrum of colors on its various vehicles over the years; but as you know, only a small proportion of those colors were used upon 40-Series land cruisers. I'd therefore think you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who has repainted theirs in Tantalus Green or Malachite Green.

Going outside Toyota's darker green solid colors, my personal all-time fave is that of the dark, British Racing Green - which looks overly good on basically anything.

Haven't found this color green's name but some very similar: NCS 6530-G50Y and Dark Olive Green. Another color similar to this is Toyota 6V7 Dark Army Green used on 2011 FJ Cruisers. I'm going to go with it! I have a Aqualu aluminum 3/4 tub on its way arriving May 02, I'm going to have black front fenders, black hood and black fiberglass top. I'll start a thread of my 1978 FJ40 build.

I thought I posted my Spring Green 1970. Here it is again just in case.
New in California where is cruised the Mohave desert for years and years. Moved to PA where I realized the salt would melt it away. Used it in Idaho for a decade only in summer and now back in PA and only use on dry roads. Always been in the family. I think 1970 was the only year of this color.

Well, guess what ?? My own rebuild will be painted "Aircraft Green," which is this color. It truly does turn into a hue of green. As it does to a lighter taupe and to a dark bronze and to an almost copper :

And when done, my rig will look almost precisely like this. Has simply been a $$$-issue, but painting the already detached, individual body components & barren tub with the expensive Imron paint - will be first priority. And the time can't come soon enough !! ... I can't wait !! :
