What color is my FJ40(most of it)

[airon23]

I'm looking at ordering some spray paint from Cruiser Corps to paint the doors and hard top. It's always sort of bothered me so I figured I'd give it a go. The color of the paint is Sky Blue (854), so I just want to make sure if I paint my doors and hard top with this color will it match? I realize the color on the landcruiser has 40+ years so it may not be exact, but was this color Sky Blue or something else? To me the Sky Blue on the computer monitor looks lighter but it's hard to tell.

A few more for inspection plus the color from Cruiser Corps...

Isn't there a paint code on the VIN plaque on the passenger's fender?

So it does... thanks for pointing that out. I don't think I realized the color was on there. It does say 854 but then it says LL 11 right after that. Is this the same thing as 854?

^^^Yes. Do it. May not be a perfect match right away, but time will help that. And still better than Mustard over Blue.

The other ones are trim codes that were the same for FJ40s during same time period.

Sky Blue is one of the best colors IMO.

I used color-match rattle-can to paint the Bandierente (was primer black) tailgate on my 40. Match is perfect...but truck is a late-90s garage repaint.
