This reminds me so much of painting my 653 Olive FJ40 in my garage in Colo Springs in 1992. The paint still looks great, and I'm still glad I did it myself. I did have color match issues, and I see you went the extra mile to get a good/correct match - good for you!

Steve you won't believe this match. Where we taped off the dash it's impossible to see a difference, old vs new.. I couldn't be happier with the color. I have the formula on a label, will post that up for future reference.

Very nice Tim, if I ever sell my 4Runner a 40 or 45 is in my future. Looks like you are well on your way to another awesome looking 40 joining the roads of Denver.
