Trying to decide on what color to paint

[swimbikerun247]

Help me choose for a 1986 Toyota 4Runner w/ Black Accents(Rims, Bumpers, Soft Top, Etc.)!

Depending on how nice of a paintjob it will be, how about Spruce Mica?

Unless you're going to strip the body and do it right, I vote for whatever color it is now.

But if you're going to change the color, I've always thought Imperial Jade Mica would look hot on a first gen.

I believe mine is what they called medium blue in 1986, but the paint would be done right.

Like my '87?

Also a good choice!

I vote go back stock. I also have a Medium Blue 86 that will be getting a fresh coat of paint this spring. I'll be taking it back to Medium Blue. Changing colors is a lot of work to do it right.

If it was me I'm all for original color but I love od green so it would be hard for me to vote but like it was said earlier it really depends if you do everything right...just my opinion.

What sort of shape is the truck being painted in? If it has some wrinkled, dinged or patched panels nothing beats bright white to hide imperfections.

1988-89 Medium Blue Metallic :reddance:

Color code 8D7

 

[Howitzer]

Mix gunmetal grey and black, sort've comes out as a graphite colour. mmmm baby :deadhorse:

 

[Quatre Coureur]

Paint it the original color x4! :usa:

 

[swimbikerun247]

Condition of the panels are excellent. Obviously the doors are not the originals and they have a ding or two, but that is all.

Midam Blue Metallic code 8H8
