scotty Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I found a near perfect over the counter spray paint for the 80's Toyota pickup Sunrader hood and doors paint. I can over spray the 'white' Toyota paint original paint code 035 with Rust-o-leum matte french cream part number 282816 upc 2006626818. link here https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NOB5T08/ref=asc_df_B00NOB5T085016593/?tag=hyprod-20&creative=394997&creativeASIN=B00NOB5T08&linkCode=df0&hvadid=193152739170&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15945175382914676310&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031914&hvtargid=pla-378991349477 I had two different auto paint stores create the 035 paint from the manufacturer's specification. The paint came out bone white, not light yellow/white. completely wrong. I then bought every whitish spray paint ( about 30) I could find in several different auto/home/paint stores and found this miracle paint from Rustoleum. I cannot tell where I painted with the matte french creme and where the original paint. ah really great!! what a thrill to find a perfect match. This is my payback for all the generous help other people have posted to the Toyota motorhome discussion board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Cool I'm going to pick some up today. Checked local big box stores and they pretty much all have it in stock if anyone doesn't want to wait for Amazon delivery. Linda S By the way if anyone needs to touch up the coach fiberglass section this is a match. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00407XAGK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdfrost64 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 the color code you are after is 033 for the off white or 489 beige. paintscratch.com has the right color match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Looks like in 84 there were 2 whites. The 035 was the bright white and the softer white was 038. Don't know if 033 was a perfect match for either of those Linda S And I don't know if this is right either.

jdfrost64 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 look up vin .it will tell you what came standard for that truck and color code. the 033 was more of a bone color all the 84 mini homes I seen and had of that year like mine used the 033 .

linda s Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I'm guessing you looked it up on paint scratch. They are not Toyota. Plenty of other places show the 035. Pick your poison http://www.automotivetouchup.com/touch-up-paint/toyota/1984/all-models/ actual paint code is on the truck somewhere.

ToyoGuy Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I called Rust-oleum tech support this am and asked if they carried this color ( matte french cream part number 282816 ) in gloss or semi. (Haven't tried the match yet, my rig is not handy) They said no gloss or semi, offered no rational reason for this, but said that it may be possible to cover with clear-coat of some sort. My interest is high as I also have tried an assortment of paints from legit touchup (Dupli-Color Creme-#557) ( too dark) and others whose numbers I've forgotten, to Rustoleum 7794 Antique White (Too yellow?) Can't remember whether the Wimbleton White works or not, have to re- check. One of the problems is with the touchup paint websites not having any sample whatsoever of certain common colors to judge from (Dupli-Color). The other is some of us have had re-paints with only close matches to paint codes, and/or fading overall. There's also the color-match issue of stock Gel-coats on the coach for those of us who own SunRaders and have done glass re-work. Any luck from anyone there? My rig is not at the home right now, but I'll see if I can contribute more after checking the DupliColor Ford/Whimbleton Wht. BR, TG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 OK I got the Wimbledon white tip from the Aero Cruiser group. They have the same fiberglass shell as we do but no truck cab. All fiberglass small class A. Bunch of people there said you couldn't see the difference between the original and this paint. I'm going to buy some of the french cream and try it at least on my mirror arms. If looks good I might try to cover some chips on my hood. If too matte I can spray some clear gloss over it.

ToyoGuy Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Thanks Linda, the mirror thing sounds like a sure win, even if the color/texture were slightly off, the mirrors aren't attached right next to the body and it should fly. If you have time, please update us, TG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdfrost64 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 not only from paint match but like I said look up vin # on truck or on door jam. also I got the number from Toyota itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Ditzler lists 3 different 'white' paint codes for 1984 Toyotas:- 033, 035 and 038. Just a guess, but '035 (Super White)' sounds like what I would call 'Refrigerator White'. P.S. I would consider Ditzler as an 'Expert'. Also, there is no indication in the above chart if all (or none ) of the 'whites' were used on the Trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WME Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 While this post is about paint, here is a break down on reading the VIN tag. The "offical" toyota color is listed on the tag. There many places where you can go and they will mix the correct color and put it in a rattle can for you. Yes more $$ than Rustolem but it is correct, not almost correct. http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/ToyVIN.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleon Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 FWIW, my 1984 Toyota Sunrader is a match for 033. But my question is what clear coat do I need? I'm pretty sure that "gloss" wouldn't match, but do I need "flat" or "satin" or what? Thanks in advance, Lenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say I've ever heard people complain about 'too much gloss'. People work hard to get it! Your RV, so you chose what you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleon Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 The rest of the vehicle isn't very shiny, so I think it'd look out of place if the hood was shinier than the rest. Here's a photo of the hood and the vehicle overall. As you can see, it's not very shiny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 So you just want to paint the hood and want the 'gloss' to match the rest? I'd just grab a rattle can of the colour Linda mentioned above. Forget a 'clear coat' The cabs weren't originally painted with 'base coat/clear coat' anyway.

linda s Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 The color I mentioned is for the fiberglass coach. It's a little yellower than the truck. I wouldn't worry about using gloss at all. Any finish is a buffer pad away from a match. Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghastain Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Scotty, I just wanted to log in to say THANK YOU! The French cream is an absolute perfect match for my 1981 Toyota Dolphin. Couldn't have imagined to have found such a close match. Thanks again!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 That's what I used on my 86. Not the right color for mine. Way too yellow so maybe only earlier models. I'm going to repaint next summer Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
