JODY T Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Ring another Toyota dealer.... Prob couldnt be bothered to look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 some times the colours dont show up if its an import. its the same with mine. You might have to go and get the paint matched up profesionally. Sounds strange but halfords mix up paint to the colour you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 Yep uk car, will try another toyota dealer. Have spoken to GVN and they have a book with all the toyota colours but nothing coming up under that code or name. App. toyota deleted it because its over 10yrs old. Anyone got a storm blue rear spoiler for sale. May get mine carbon fibred and sell it on like that. Would this interest anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 Well that could certainly sort my problem out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeT Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 you work at a bodyshop don't you? Surely the guys there can match the paint for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 Its being done by my mates that own the smart repair section. Not an easy colour to match though app.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jive Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I've just recently had my aerotop roof resprayed due to major rusting at the front Got it done by a company local to me, recommended by my father in law, top job although I was slightly worried when he came out with a book of colours and proceeded to ask me what I thought of the colour match. Took a gamble and thankfully I did, the paint job came out fantastic, it's even got the slight green tint in it that the rest of my car has, bonus point as well ... I can actually take the roof off in bright sunshine without burning my hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Hes got a uk car! I think you'd have better luck at a Lexus dealer and for servicing generally, as they were sold out of their dealers when it came out and they deal with 2JZ engines in the IS and GS a lot more than the average Toyota dealer would I bet!
