FJ40 paint, undedcided: Landrover Coniston Green or Toyota T416 (1 Viewer)

[meatloaf]

After seeing too many nice FJ40's at Edwin's party yesterday, I decided that I need to start working on getting mine running. I am going to pull out the bad engine and will paint the engine bay before placing the good engine back in and then paint the whole truck. I just can't decide whether to go with the Dune Beige T416 or the LandRover Conister Green. I am positive mine will not be as nice as Bodean's in the picture below. Truck is currently an ugly faded green.

There is a sweet lookin matte green early bronco that keeps parking in my lot.

I vote for Beige. I've always liked that color on a 40 or a 60 for that matter.

x2 but you don't see many white one's.

You can't go wrong either way, but green is more of an eye catcher.

BTW, if that's Jeff Murrah's 40 (Bodean), I may have taken that photo. Spectacular truck. Haven't seen it with the top on in several years. If you want a closer look, he should have it at Katemcy next month, topless.

Yes, I love the beige ones... I also like the green one, i had painted my old mini truck green and it looked nice.

I've seen Boden's truck at the Roundup before, it is nice. I've also seen a couple of dune beige trucks at Edwins old shop and I just drooled. I am leaning more towards the beige...

Thanks,
ML

I have always liked your truck and green is my daughter's favorite color.

Mine is originally 031 white.

I am going 464 beige with beige liner inside.

She actually looks like my 6th grade home room teach. Mrs lowman.

Mrs lowman had a daughter 2 years below me who in HS never heard the end of it from every teenage boy. Poor thing, one upped by a hot mom.
