    Hey.

    I have a Silver sky metallic 2nd gen and I've got a few little spots of rust on the back of the truck coming in, right above the bumper in the crack where the tailgate meets the rear bedside panels. Looking for tips on what a good color match paint is (dupli-color is the only one I know of but not sure of how well it will match) and the best process for removing the rust to bare metal, priming and blending the new paint in with the old so it doesn't jump out at you

    thanks for any feed back!

    I had bad luck (might have been a one off) when buying touch up for Wife's FJ from third parties. I finally went to Toyota and it was closer, but still not a match. I think it has something to do with the metalic as it goes on heavier as a touch up vs a spray gun.

    The vin tells you what factory it was made from too so if you go to a simple paint shop they can match up the color almost 100%. I painted cars for years and after learning that trick w the vin it made my life a million times easier

    There are also different variances to the color shades. When I had some work done they guy brought the tabs out to match it. My 13 Barcelona had 12 or 13 different shades in the book.

    I have some tiny spots that need touch up paint. I've had the Toyota touch up paint for a year but I'm too nervous about screwing it up.
