RootBeer Brown 5th Gen.

I know Army Green is the new bee's knee's. But anyone else miss the old school LandCruiser RootBeer Brown?

I have a Nautical Blue and have thought about wrapping it in a similar matte finish.

If there are any pics or threads about it, I'd love to see it.

I had that color in a 3rd gen I believe was the same color. I think they called it anthracite metallic

If you are serious about this, Clark, I would head down to your wrap shop and look at the colors.

Balloon matte is the hotness, they should be able to do a rendering for you.

Someone who lives near me drives a 3rd Gen that color. I'd never seen one like it, so I asked if he'd had it painted. He said no, it was only available one year. It's a great color - Gen5 would look great!
 
Brother had that color on his Honda way back in the day. It's a beautiful color. 4Runner would definitely be nice with it.

What's balloon matte? I tried to google it and just got a lot of party favors...
 
I've got the copper brown metallic on my short list of possible paint colors. This is the classic root beer brown if I'm not mistaken.

I want to get rid of my bushwacker flares, and touch up some small rust areas on the liftgate. which means a LOT of paint work.

the copper brown metallic on the land cruiser is paint code is 474. Tempting.....

Check out this thread. I think there was brown but didn't go through the whole thing again. There is a bunch of pics though with different colours.

British Racing Green. How would it look?

I have no issues with my '16 TP.

The 474 color would look killer on a 5th Gen. My main drawback is having nautical blue door jams. Small issue for me if I wrap it, I just like it all to look legit.

If I needed paint work, I'd jump all over 474!!!

Anthracite Metallic was available in '96, '97, and '98. I liked mine.

Here's my '97 which I bought new, next to the Nautical Blue TRD ORP I bought last October.

This wasn’t that color, it was like copper. Never saw one like it. Only got one pic of it.

Ok, I was just replying to your comment that was a reply saying you knew someone with Anthracite Metallic.

The picture you posted is Autumn Blaze Metallic (paint code 4P5), available in '99.

Thanks - I must have missed the anthracite reference when I made that comment. I thought I was responding to a root beer brown comment.

Anyway, that Autumn Blaze would look sweet on a Gen5.
