Hey all,
Looking for somewhere to buy toyota paint for my 88 black and sliver starlet, I have no idea where to go tho.
Anyone?

I see that you're down somewhere south, but in Auckland I did went to this auto paint place near penrose / Great south road, you go in with your fuel filler cap and they'll colour match paint to your car.

If you are just looking for some touch up paint, get in touch with Total Body Shop Supplies in Lower Hutt. Give them your paint code, and they can make some up for you. (04) 586-6681.

Paint code will be on your firewall and any PPG paint place should be able to mix it for you. That's where I got my last lot of paint mixed.

Or get TA/Scott to take paint code into paint and paper superstore in tremaine ave here in palmy.

The day i went in there the guy behind the counter seemed like a good sort... even if he still looked a little drunk from the night before :lol:

. And if you don't have a paint code he can match it up (well he did for my wheels anyway)

dont just take the paint numbers to them,

if the paint has faded then you will have trouble matching, depending on where the panel is will make a difference too,

they also have paint charts to help decide etc

oh yeah definatly, if it was a respray and you wanted to keep the original toyota colour, then its just like ordering parts , wrong part code = wrong part

by **Mr Revhead** » Wed Mar 04, 2009 10:55 am

any paint shop dealing in auto paint will be able to do it
could even get it in a tube from toyota if you find a parts guy upto it!

They have only RGB value, which is useless.
