Touch up paint?

CBR>MR2 · 03-21-2009, 04:25 PM

Do you guys have touch up paint? Dark green specifically.

That would be color code 742, correct? Unfortunately, I can't get that anymore. I can get some colors, but not the oldest ones that haven't been used in a long time.

What, 3J6? Not as touch-up paint from Toyota, no, but if you are painting an entire car, I bet a paint store could mix it up correctly for you.

Yeah, whole car. Looks like an at home paint job atm. Not terrible but it's fading and peeling in the interior part of the top of the engine lid. Also can run my thumb nail across the spoiler and get back to the original color without leaving a scratch. If only I could do that to all of it.

A good polishing job can work wonders...

The color is called Dark Emerald Pearl (6M1) according to here Toyota Reference - Information and Specs for all USA Toyota, Lexus and Scion Cars

6M1 makes more sense for green, but according to my EPC (which can be incorrect), that's not an original color for '92s, which is why I suggested 742. 6M1 only shows valid for '94+ cars. Check your door tag and see what follows C/TR down in the corner, or email the VIN to me. Or has your car been repainted?

CBR>MR2 · 03-25-2009, 02:51 PM

I dont believe it's been repainted. C/TR: 742/FF22

te51levin · 03-25-2009, 03:51 PM

Well, there we have it - your paint code is 742!
