I actually do not know of any places that make a good color match for the color. My truck was totaled in 2017 and I was able to get the work done by an old friend's friend. The guy did it in his personal garage. It's not perfect but as close to perfect as you could get. I only say that because the driver door and fender that were replaced were the items that were painted, so you can tell I have fresh paint on those pieces compared to the rest of the vehicle with paint fade from over the years.

Yes Sir. Thanks for the feedback. I didn't answer your last question. I believe those are the stock rims on it. The guy is pretty stock all the way around. I replaced shocks with standard KYB's. Timing belt done a few months ago.
Okay on the paint match. I'm originally from Illinois. I rehabed a Jeep YJ and had
Born Paint Company - match the paint and put it in a rattle can. It came out amazing. Truly. I was thinking about doing the same thing to this since 95% of the paint is good. Just needs some TLC to really make it whole. I'll have to look for a auto paint supplier around here in Austin to see if they can do the same thing. I would rather talk to someone face to face and have them actually mix it rather than ordering online. Those guys in Peoria (born) really helped me out when I was younger and man that Jeep was a stunner (Medium blue). I've been told by my neighbors I can wash the paint off a car bc I clean my cars so much.... They sound lazy to me... what do they care... It's MINE anyways lol.
Next thing I need to do is get the moon roof working. I think I saw a video where these snake coils freeze up. Looks like quite the job but I'm willing to do it.
