Paint Codes Mr2 Mark 1 89 Plate

[lonestay]

I owned a mark 1 on an 89 plate, G238FB0, T bar, full leather interior red paint best car i have ever owned . A friend of mine has obtained a model kit and is in the process of building it for me as i always wanted a model of it, my question is what was the toyota red called ? as he wants to be able to spray it as close to the original colour and i cant remember!!!! if any one knows i would be very grateful .

The red used is either super red or super red 2 - i know at least one is available from Halfords - cant remember which one sorry - the code is 3E5 - thats the code on my car which is a 1989 red mk1b T-bar with full leather - which is a twin of yours.

Hope this helps :)

There are 3 shades of red used on the MK1 3E5 is only one of them - although the most common.

Your vin has the paintcode in it and your owners manual should show you how to find it
