Silver Paint source / code wanted - 3rd gen bumpers

[joecuba]

Can anyone give me the right code or point me in the right direction for silver paint to do 3rd gen bumpers. My front bull bar is needing some work, want to take it off, sand it, and refinish the whole things. Any pointers much appreciated!

Oh yeh, asked local Toyota boys, they don't know :-(

I have just done mine, same thing... Go to a decent paint supplier that mixes and ask for Toyota Silver 199. I got a large 500ml spray can for £12.

Rub it down/prep with 800, use a decent primer that will take metallic then laquer it. My front silver cover over the bullbar came up a treat. took it off the car to do mind and painted it in 20 min coats

Is Halfords a decent pain supplier? Anyone know anywhere else in Edinburgh that is better?

try a local paintsprayer, he'll know the local supplier

Local supplier is apparently 'Dingbro', who is strictly trade only.

Is Halfords really bad?
