Hehe not quite a toyota colour Sarge! and why would you waste good paint on that car!hehe
I have been chasing this guy all week, and like most way way out west country folk, he appears to have a different concept of time! anyway, I have decided that as soon as I get hold of him I am gonna pin him down and get the address to go for a drive and get the numbers (and pictures) for myself,
I need an excuse to drive that far! and will take camera along, might even drive the Camry! LOL
will let you know Sarge when I get details if you feel like making the trip!
Matt

Finally I have the details off the ute! and it is in fact Skyline Blue!!! a bit of a disapointment! but the car itself isnt, I have finally got the numbers off the ute!
Body FC/2106-7907 M
Trim 194-649
Paint 256-2051
Chassis FC58237M
Engine L621581 (original as per paperwork)
Speedo 34058 miles (first trip round)
The tech section says this was roughly an October 59 build, which is backed up by the paperwork I have got saying that it was purchased December 1959
Cheers
Matt

Soooo it appears that it is the same colour combination as 4 hammers (old) / REDMR2RED's (new) ute
Which prompts me to beg for some pictures from either of these two gentlemen of pictures of their ute, especially interior shots
Thanks a million guys!

Are you sure? 2T Blue FEs are typically Teal Blue / Elk Blue. Skyline Blue is an FC colour AFAIK. Your car is a late '58 model, so it could be I suppose.
For what it's worth, the difference between Elk Blue and Skyline Blue is probably not visible to the untrained eye. Elk has a trace of Bone Black tint, Skyline one part-per-hundred Red Oxide instead. Otherwise they're identical: 99/98 pph White, 1pph Brilliant Blue with a trace of Ferrite Yellow.
cheers

Hi Guys. Talking about tinting colours etc. Did you know, that when making the fluffy white icing for "Boston Buns", if you put a bit (& I mean BIT) of Blue food colour in, it makes it look heaps more white!  The same applies for white paint. Just thought you would like to know. :-/ Rob J  |

Yep - blue tinge in white to make it whiter is an optical illusion. We old buggers will remember our mums putting stuff called "Bluo" in the wash to make the whites look whiter - and if they stuffed up and left the bluo block in too long, everything came out - you guessed it - blue!

gidday all funny tou should mention that rob because as a paint maker by trade [not a lot different from baking at least method wise ] that is exactly what we do to make the paint appear more "white". denis |
