Thanks, for that Project Sprinter. very informative. Sorry for the extremely late reply. Just seen the message. I don't seem to get notifications etc. Still trying to get it sorted. Did just get some panel work done and heaps of rust cut out. They just matched it by eye for now. I might get a can of big bad wolf made up if someone can find the formula. Thanks mate :)

Just came across this toyota site, It's very interesting and has some specs on corollas like weights, power etc, but it has Toyotas whole line up of cars from 1936 - 2012 http://www.toyota-global.com/company/history_of_toyota/75years/vehicle_lineage/family_tree/index.html I also go to this site for brochures, service manuals and owners manual scans. Has other cool stuff too http://www.retrojdm.com/Search.asp?Make=Toyota

I think the plate is correct, The frame number matches the one that's on the firewall. I wonder if anyone else has this colour and what their colour code is. The guy I bought the car from said the paint is completely original and has owned the car for the last 12 years. I replaced the carpet in the car and I haven't seen any traces of any other colour. It looks original too besides the stupid engine bay with the crappy sparkles haha. He said when he swapped the motor for a 4k he painted the engine bay like that :/ The closest one I can match it with is that Brilliant Persimmon colour. I'll see what the guys at Autoone can do for me. If not, a few people at work have told me of a place about 15mins away from me that has a spectrometer. I might have to do that, all I really wanted was a rattle can to touch up some spots and apparently this place does pressure packs too so that's good. Hopefully get it sorted soon. I'll keep you all updated. Thanks for the help everyone

Hey, Thanks, I went through that site with no luck. Thanks heaps though. Makes me wonder if that ID plate is even real :/ Can't find anything with that code at all.. I can find 2 other colours that are orange that look similar with different codes. 308 - Brilliant Persimmon JW - Big Bad Orange - Toyota Australia code. can't find a pic of big bad orange though.. Found this site too if anyone needs help with colors. http://paintref.com/cgi-bin/chipdisplay.cgi?year=1974&manuf=Toyota&info=&page=1 But still no luck. I called Autoone and they're going to contact their paint supplier and get back to me.

Hey everyone, I've recently bought a 74 ke20 and i need to get some paint made up. The engine bay says its M2. But I can't seem to find any more info on the colour. I Went to supercheap to see if they could make up a can for now but their system didn't have the code for the formula. Sorry about the picture sizes. Here's the plate with the code: Photo of the paint Any help would help me heaps. Thanks

I'm in Warilla, probably seen a few of yous out. I drive a yellow ke55 coupe.
