Firstly, look on your trim and colour plate under your bonnet. There is a colour code there. Then go to supercheap/repco/autobarn etc. And look the code up in their book eg.. 2006 toyota landcruiser code 420ff, It will say something like "Glacier white".

Secondly, Im in the process of 2 pacing my cruiser aswell. Its Illegal to spray 2 pac anywhere other than a booth. There is a poison called iso's in 2 pac. Which is basically sionide. Even if you have a really good resperator it will attack your eyes. Youll need a postive pressure face mask.

And ontop of that. Your looking at, cost wise...
$145 for 4 litres of a half decent primer and hardner
$360 for 3 litres of colour and hardner
$360 for 3 litres of clear coat and hardner

Im looking at just over a grand just for the paint for mine. The body shop I spoke too said if the body isnt too bad $1800 cash done....

Just pay the extra... As 2 pac is also a real bitch to sand runs out of and over spray sticks to everything.

ps. You can get an iso free 2 pac but I have heard its crap and not very shiny...

If anyone here has any idea's for me aswell, Im all ears... :)
