Repainting the truck, looking for suggestions on what Grey to go with

[aleks77]

Looking to repaint my truck to a grey, i like the 5th gen 4runner grey and also the Porsche grey. I haven't seen any 3rd gen 4runners in a different grey other then the 1a1 that they were available in. Any suggestions welcome, i also thought about the new orange but just dont think our older style can pull it off.

My truck currently;

Toyota 1A1:

Toyota 1G3

Porsche

I like the truck as is, of the three options you listed however I'd go with porche gray, or even leave the flares and cladding black and go porche gray for the upper body. I'm just kind of partial to black.

I screwed up the Porsche color, the correct color is now up!

I also love black, but think its time for a change, im keeping the bumper, sliders, roof rack, grille and wheels a satin black, and down the road a black rear bumper. Not sure how the flares will look black, might give it a try.

Graphite Grey Pearl (1C6) from the IS300. If I was ever willing to drop the cash, I'd do it.

That Porsche looks black to me, but hey...

What about Audi grey? I think that would really make all the black hardware look pretty cool in contrast to the lighter grey.

Looks like "Glossy Battleship" to me!

My wife's IS is Nebula Gray Pearl and I love it... Paint code is 1H9

Looks pretty dang silver in the sun (like in this shot) but on overcast days (like 90% of the days here in the PNW it's quite gray looking.

Here's a good example from the interwebs.

Porsche Meteor Gray.

Ford also has a family of gray's I'm fond of that are all almost the same color: Dark Shadow Gray / Sterling Gray Metallic / Magnetic Gray.

I vote for the 1G3, it's a very pearlescent color, never a dull moment. And I just like it!

I vote Thundercloud, always been my favorite on the 3G.

I spent a longtime deciding before respraying my Land Cruiser. The below were (and still are) my top 3 picks!


Nissan KAD

Toyota 1G3

Thunder Metallic (Not to be confused with Toyota ThunderCloud)

Are you doing a full respray? Because the black is going to really stand out in the spots you don't cover.

I like the way the rig looks now! but I also am a huge fan of the Anthricite Metal color from the earlier 3rd gens...kinda like a brown/gray combined...not a huge fan of that grey from the earlier 5th gen trail pic u posted...I love the magnetic grey ford uses that my wife has in her fusion

I got really excited because I thought you were going to maybe be repainting it the new cement color the TRD Pro comes in. It's similar to that audi gray.

This would be sweet! Google 2017 TRD Pro 4Runner Cement

Right?

If I was going to repaint mine, I would be very tempted to go with the grey / black theme. Kind of like Lars Ulrich's Justice For All tour kit. I always dug that kit. I saw a FJ in the Cement variety today on I-5.

I really like the 1g3, A little bit down the line I am planning on reapinting mine to cement gray.

 

[aleks77]

Hmm Cement grey does look good, and a grey/black combo would be sweet. On the plus side also its a Toyota color! I got some thinking to do.
