RTV or FIPG part # for the Gray Stuff

[V8Man]

I am rebuilding a 2003 4.7l V8, 2UZ-FE, and have noticed that the gray gasket maker or sealer (FIPG Formed In Place Gasket) is harder than the blue, black, or red RTV sealant made by 3M or Permatex. Does anyone know what to buy that is the same specs as the OEM Toyota gray stuff? I know that I can Google it but what is the part number or specs for the gray? Has the gray stuff been replaced by the black? I would much rather use the gray as it disappears on the aluminum parts of the V8 and doesn't stand out like the black color.

We use black FIPG, the grey stuff is factory only according to the old guys and parts department at my dealership. If you find a part number let us know.

Most local parts stores have the small tubes as well.
When I played with Subarus this was also the Subie forums recommended substitute for their factory stuff.

Or lots of people like Hondabond, but it's pricey.

Lots of folks say Permatex Ultra Black is the same quality as Toy FIPG...but this starts to turn into a discussion that's similar to the "best oil to use" questions.

Go with the Ultra Grey if you are on a budget or get the FIPG http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Toyota-00295-00103-Formed---Place/dp/B000EDDTV0/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1450668809&sr=1-1&keywords=fipg
