What does 8b4 look like?

[Cruiser D]

Hey Guys,

I'm having my '87 BJ70's body done. The PO had a quick-n-dirty paint job done so I don't know what the original colour looked like.

The stock color is 8B4, which I've seen listed as Dark Blue Poly, Dark Blue Met, Gun Barrel Grey.

Does anyone have their Cruiser in this colour? If so, could they post a picture or direct me to an existing thread? Trying to decide if I want to stay stock or not.

Thanks
Darryl

My BJ74 is that colour.... However my truck is a little faded....

If you go to NAPA they can create the colour for you in a spray can or touch up bottle....

I believe that is the blue/grey colour that was on some of the 70s brought into Canada - one of the maybe three colours they used here. I've seen a few of these and I have to say it is my favorite...

Anyway, I think that is the same colour on Brett's (dieselbigot) old rig. Here is a link to his Mud for sale listing which includes a link to his ebay submission with lots of pics: 87-BJ70 - Rust Free, Original Paint, Expedition Built, CA TITLE.

HTH and good luck.
