Yeah yeah it's a horrible editing job. Just a quicky to get an idea. I'm a huge fan of the FJ's Voodoo Blue and have yet to see it on a 4Runner. Plan is to pull off the skirts and flares and Rhino Line them also front and rear bumpers will be gone, front is on it's way from Addicted Offroad.

I'm lookin into getting a cheap paint job from Sprayglo or Maaco. No sense in dropping too much $ since it's going right back in the woods, just want an original look. My clear is peeling off the hood and fenders are fading. Got a few dings I'd like to see gone as well.

I guess I'm digging for opinions and. How much do you think it will cost? $300-500? That's about all I'd throw at it. This local SprayGlo is supposed to be reall good as far as cheap paint shops go. I've seen some of their work and they did a good prep job, no over spray and nice finish. Not show car quality but that's not what I'm looking for.

If you know of another 4Runner that's already done this, I'll be bummed that mine won't be original but I'd still do it and like to see some pics.

Looks like the pic didn't work so here's a link just in case. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-ge...e-4runner.html

This is my first post, can someone PM me on how to insert pics and/or attachments? Thanks

 

not a 4runner but...

 

I saw that when i googled "voodoo blue 4runner" looks good

 

So you want your truck to look like a porter potty?

 

No not at all, more like a porta john!

 

That truck needs a white topper

 

I got your message in the other thread but figured I'd post here. So as luck would have it I almost have a voodoo blue 4runner. It's not quite the same color as the fj but it's close. I didn't particularly like the color, but I just bought it last July. I really wanted a green one (this one is green under the hood and in the door jams), but color wasn't a dealbreaker. I got this one with 178k on it for 3,500 and figured I could change the color. The more I have it the more it grows on me. There is a long list to do before I paint it but I hope this helps with what you're trying to do to yours. Sorry about the big pictures.

 

wow... you need a sticker on the back of the window that says "Got Smurf"

 

Here is a pic of my rig I photoshoped for ya...close to voodoo blue...
I think its kinda cool looking you should do it!

 

Be the first olive drab 3rd gen... Some ideas https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f123...-think-212393/
My red paint has oxidized so badly that I'm considering it.

Those shades of blue reflect the rainbow colors of skittles and gayness.

 

If you do that blue color on the 4runner, I think it will look better if you have the wheel flares and bumpers be black. I think that color needs to be broken up a little bit, then it looks really good. The FJ's have alot of items breaking up the color with the roof, mirrors and flares/trim being different colors.

I like the look of yota runner's edit. I think the bug deflector on the hood also improves the look; it breaks up the color over the front of the hood. Painting the mirrors black I think would look good as well.

 

I agree with Nelson, accents like black wheels, bumpers, mirrors, door handles and grill would make it look less smurf/valleygirl-ish. I'm going to be painting my 1st gen with interlux brightside sapphire blue in a few months. It's not quite the same voodoo blue color (it's a little darker), but it's pretty close. I already have everything above blacked out, and I'm going to go even further and do my fuel door, and make all of my windows illegal too.

 

I have considered painting the top of my roof white, but I think it would look stupid. What do ya'll think?

 

white 4runner top on anything but a white truck looks kinda silly. sorry swimmerboy. Not your fault though.

 

I wouldn't do a white top. I do agree with the black accents. I know first hand that the blue needs to be broken up.

 

JBurt, looks like you got a pretty damn good deal for only 3500 bucks!

 

hey XXXtreme22Re where did you get those black fenders?

 

heh I don't know, ya might wanna ask the owner it's not my truck.

 

o hahaha sorry. no hijacking here! sorry! wish i knew where to get those damn things
