Hi Guys,
Need to get some paint to do an original colour respray, for it's 40th birthday this year.
The KE30's colour is original. The ID plate on the firewall indicates Colour Code 511.
While doing a bit of research on the net, I found there are quite a few yellows in the Toyota range.
Suntan Yellow code T1750
Yellow code 511
Yellow code 522
Yellow Firefly code T1746
Greenish Yellow code 521
However, when i check the code 511 on the Unique Cars website, it indicates that the colour with code 511 is more a greenish yellow, quite unlike what I've got.
This colour is named Mustard Yellow, for the code 511. Looks more greenish to me.
I've never actually known what colour to call my KE30. My wife calls it "baby pooh !" To me it's more a Mustard Yellow, than the bright yellow, like you see on some early Toyotas.
My KE30s original colour was a fairly popular one at the time.
Can anyone who has been through this exercise before, confirm that the colour of my car above is Mustard Yellow ?
Suppose the other way I could do it, is get a sample can of paint with code 511, and paint a patch and see if it matches.
Many thanks 1
Cheers Banjo
