What color is my fj40?

[My wife said no FJ!]

99146H was the ppg code.



Assuming that is correct on the image posted above.

Looks like your color you requested is on that image too, with ppg code.
Get a pint and see how it sprays!

I will be posting comprehensive images in the color thread when i get the spray test back

Very interesting...

The t 332 is being mixed as we speak.
Very likely being sprayed tomorrow

OH boy.... I'll be interested to see how close that is. Hopefully that's it

I hope so too

I have a good feeling it will be correct.
At the very least we will know what it looks like sprayed

So it is win win in essence.

Are you gonna get some Sundune White mixed and possibly do a test spray?

Be nice to have more real world test sprays of old colors for everyone else's benefit

I'll look into Sundune tomorrow, but my daughter is still pulling for blue, except today we really studied this, and it is looking like it might be Capri Blue...we'll see...maybe I'll paint one side Capri, and the other Sundune, then we'll decide

If your going totally dif color, that niagara green looks nice too

Na, I would like the Sundune, and she likes the blues.

Either way it's OK with me

 

[destin]

yeah they are both great colors

I would love to see how they spray out.

Even be cool to see the difference between capri and horizon blues

I think we have a winner!

This is the t-332 test spray

Looks good. I agree it's a winner for a color match.

So does sulfur yellow T-1183 look like it may be close to the 1961 FJ40 in your first post in this tread?

Oh my

Finally, I think that this is that elusive color you have been looking for...they look like a perfect match on my computer screen

 

[destin]

Thanks guys!

And Thanks Wesintl for your color sleuthing

No I need to take a week off work and totally disassemble this beast

Every thing I think is going to be easy except for the tub.
Disconnecting the gas tank and wiring and dash bits is gonna be a chore i think hehe.

That is hot Destin !!! What a great match!!!
So I guess those codes on the bottom left are the new PPG codes? Is this the code that showed up on you can of paint? What paint did you end up using?

Very cool

Thanks man!


I used the ppg code on that image, seems pretty dead on

( I gave them the tint codes as well )

That's the one. I can't post pictures on the computer I'm on during the day. I put the picture next to the sample on the screen and it looks pretty close. Maybe get a test sample to see. I'm in no real hurry until some one starts making the canvas for the early OEM tops.
