Sheepers' MS75 - Imma sit back and enjoy another sheepers build

[sheepers]

yea cheers for that.

ill see if i can get any matches from those codes 

every paint suppliers website will tell you that they can supply 660 touch up paint but they dont actually know what 660 is so i strongly doubt that link would actually yield the correct paint.

I wonder how different they went for different markets. Engine bay looks a lot closer to this than the exterior does.

that colour (T602) is a flat green like this.

Yeah my bad it looked a lot closer on my phone. I had used that site before for my cars and it seemed to match up.

Paint shops have their fancy scanning machines now too, had pretty good success with a match for my old starlet.

SHANE has one

[sheepers]

and do you think the paint on the crown is in a good enough state to get a decent match off?

give a section a cut and polish, or if there's some on the underside of the guard or boot lid just give that a polish. Shane did that with the last rooted item I took in. It showed the next closest factory code 

[sheepers]

i was being facetious.

the paint on this car, as can be clearly seen from space, is completely totally fucked and no part of it even remotely resembles the original colour.

 

[tortron]

the paint behind your brake booster looks brand new

[xsspeed]

Or something removeable like door you can take in, is paint any good under door card. Assume no fuel flap on these?

[sheepers]

Ok,  so the engine bay/firewall is not painted body colour. 

Neither are the inside of the doors. 

Or the boot. 

I may be a bit slow but I'm not that dense.

Trust me when I say again,  finding a piece of original paint to scan is not an option. 

[ajg193]

Then just paint it whatever colour you want, it's not like you're fixing it with genuine Toyota steel

[Dudley]

Parcel tray and under dash could be a spot some original  stuff is left
