Would an 80 look good in any of these? Any Photo Shop experts out there... would love to see an 80 in these colors?

Spring Green.

This is what I plan to do to mine. It is white now. The flares were removed a while back and hope to patch the holes and then paint. Follow the old cruiser body line, spring green on the bottom and the top part stays white. I may go with one of the other greens though but follow the old cruiser line.

This was from a photo shop on another thread. Not my cruiser. But on that thread there is a ton of photo shopped pictures and different colors.

And mine, not sure what color you'd call this :)

Jose,
I kinda like yours, although not sure what to call it either.

I do really like the shades on the first 3 of the 40s at the top of the page. Any of those would work for me, but we're sticking with stock green for now.
 
^ The official color is Sans Panties by Monstaliner, but I like to call it Baby Projectile Vomit Green :)
 
Mine is an oddball green...

Sans panties here too, it's based on Jeep Commando green. If you look at it on a jeep it looks closer to what you are interested in. I think I'm going to do my trailer (that I bought off of you!) in it too.

I vote for the colors of the 2nd and 3rd pics of the 40's, and the overland rally 80. The ancient sage ((40th aniv) 80s are purty as well.
 
Yeah, that 40 looks great. Mine is Al's Liner Vista Green & i love it. Go green!
 
Lou,

Pics 4 and 5 of the 40's I am pretty sure are Nebula green ...

IIRC, that's an original Toyota color for the 40? Or at least close enough to fool these old eyes. I always liked it, but not as much as the paints on the other 40s.

My son never threw up anything that color. He did poop something similar to it though :)
I'd call it infant poop green!
 
Yes original on the 40's and the 55's.

Lou, Pics 4 and 5 of the 40's I am pretty sure are Nebula green like on my old 55. IMHO I don't think it is the right color for an 80, but I like pic number 1 the tan and number 2 the greyish green.[/QUOTE

I sent a message to Bob Dukes who owns the 40 in pictures 4 & 5 and it's an old Jag color called Willow Green.. he said very similar to Nebula...good eye

Have not heard back from the guy who owns the first one and the second is 6h9 Grayish Olive Toyota paint

Good to hear from you.... glad it went to a good home
 
I really like the color combo on the first 40. Seems like it would go wellwith an 80. Kinda give you that African Plains, National Geographic/feeding a lion from the window look. I'm a fan.
 
Are the first three original colors for the 40 does anyone know?

Looks like the first photo has disappeared for some reason. I am interested in the colors of the 2nd and 3rd photos. If they are original or not and wondering what they are?
