hey im thinkin about painting my 86 toyota soon and just wanted to see if anyone had any good ideas. i have a roll cage for the bed that i think im gonna paint black along with my rims since the other features (door handles etc) are black. i kinda want to go forest green for the body. maybe two tone... green and tan or green and black. anybody got any input or ideas?

 

all black, like in back to the future.

 

It looks black in the avatar. I would stick with that i hate to see vehicles the color has been chaged on, you can always tell it was another color.

 

what you don't like the cheapo paint jobs where the hinges/trunk lid, are different?

Lol

Im partial of the dark red, i really like that color. But i also really like the black or white toyotas

im also not sure on what color to paint mine...its an '86 ext cab DLX..im either going to go with black..(shows scratches and dents the worst).or white (supposedly hides scratches and dents the best)..i also like the anthracite (i think) or the dark grey color trucks...like the guy on here with an 88' ext cab with 7in of lift..and a buick 3.8 under the hood...i think you guys should post up with your favorite colors of trucks and 4 runners

 

If yal are going to paint them yourselves, Do you have a Tractor Supply Co.
I painted my bug with a galon of their tractor paint, it is tough and durable easy to spray also. I did this in the driveway

Ive posted it before,but its worth looking into. Way beter than rattle cans and they have alot of colors. That red matched the original color almost exact International Harvester Red

 

its actually blue right now with grey and red pinstripe. thanks for the ideas tho

 

Paint it up in primer grey! That would look sooo cool! Then shave the door handles, halfway finish frenching the licence plate, and cut off the exhaust at the header! Awesome!


Sorry, had to. Paint it flat or semi gloss tan with black rocker panels. Not sure if that was my idea or someone elses, but that would look pretty cool.

Oh, and that is one cool little bug!

 

I painted it Red for you Yeeeeeah!!

 

ha! very nice

 

my vote is teal and black

 

If I can find it, I'm going to paint mine John Deere Yellow (Old JD Yellow), with black trim on the bottom. It will be easier to fix.

Anybody in or near Canada want to ship me some Tremclad John Deere Yellow??
P.M. me for arrangements.

 

OD green FTW

 

When I first started on YT last year I kept seeing a slime (bright) green 4runner called swampy or something like that. I thought that was a great color. I haven't seen it done on a truck yet.

 

im painting mine in the next week or so.....im goin with a deep purple (almost black) i dont know about you but i think purple is an awesome color.... id go with that.

 

Pick out a color ( that you like ) that wasn't a factory option . Have the shop paint your door jams . Mine used to be grey !

 

That would be very cool. i actually thought about doing that but my friend is already gonna paint his like that. he's got yellow and black bucket seats and everything
