Ayup, does anyone out there know the colour code/colour ID or whatever for the silver wheel arch trims on the 2 gen, I need to repaint mine but cannot get the right colour.

Ime not shure there is one particulare colour code is there?
Shure Ive seen light and darker sivers on a Surf!
Does it not say on your vin plate?

[Bazza52]

Ayup mate, vin plate just states body colour, searched the threads on here with no luck, guess I'll just take em all off and do them all a similar colour.

What is the colour code on the VIN plate?

[Bazza52]

Ayup BW, Colour is 8E3, Trim is GV83.

If you click on the colour, it also shows you pics of 4Runners/Surfs in that paint.

As above, but can't see any info on wheel arch trims. On we go.

Does your truck have the same silver on the lower part of the doors too?

Wish it did, I think they look a lot better.

It sounds like the arch extensions have been replaced at some point then.
Your paint code would suggest that your truck was all one colour originally. You'll either have to take one off and get the colour matched at a auto paint supplier, or just paint them all a similar colour.

I reckon you're right BW, originallity is not that important to me but I like it to look reasonable, so second option I guess. TVM guys.

Just for reference, found that code is IE7 Toyota Silver, may help someone in future.
