Title: Frame colour code
Post by: nurse on August 07, 2013, 05:05:18 PM
Found the pages with the colour codes and read some recomendations of colours that are close, but cant find a listing for the frame colour.  my local body shop can match me a touch up pot based on manufacturers codes.

Can anyone help?

I don't know what the actual paint code is. But here is paint that is sold for FJ frames.

I have bought many tins of paint to match the frame with only moderate success.
Then I lucked onto this. It is a near perfect match.

The gloss level is just right but has a huge advantage over normal paint. It is Polyurethane wheel paint so it doesn't chip. It is also non porous and unaffected by fuel and oil, it won't stain.

It is a VHT product which I believe is made in the US and available at auto stores worldwide, easy to get and cheap. I recently did my swing arm with it, looks fantastic.
