TRD racing colors...questions

[FJBen]

I"m looking at doing a custom them on my 80 series, inspired/stolen/plaguerized from boxrocket.

Anyways I'm looking for the Red/Yellow/Orange from the Ivan Ironman stewart look.

Any thoughts on which color codes to go off of? It may be done in vinyl as well...

The hoodblackout will be a dull non-reflective paint. Would you use that same paint for the strip along the body and other paint colors, or do you go glossy on the colords.


Here's the 3 colors I'm trying to figure out.

Some automotive paint stores have those fancy guns that they point at the color(s) and it gives them an indication of what to mix to get the shade.

anyone know the "history" of the colors. There seem to be a few versions. Looks like red/yellow/orange was used Baja trucks, and some Paris Dakar trucks. Some Paris Dakar trucks use red/white which is Toyota motor sports colors. Rally cars use red/white/green. Then there is TRD which is red/white.

As early as ~1981

This should look good- I would love to have and 80-81 hilux with that paint scheme.

Hopefully this is useful... but this colour code is for Oracal 451 vinyl
