The back page of that brochure on eBay shows they had a pretty advanced process back in 1971, not sure when they actually started the electrocoat priming of the bodies:

Is there any other AMI models near you. Maybe they still have their paint sticker intact.
I got my code from a Toyota Crown. |

When I started looking to match the paint I just assumed the car would have been painted in the US and be Frost White. After reading the above posts and a bit of research I now know that the car was painted by AMI. Apparently the same Dulux paint colours were used on all makes that went through AMI.
My paint code is 566 - 8728 White. Hopefully now the local paint shop will be able to find a match. I could also ask for a match to a 1969 Toyota white. Thanks to the replies I may be on the right track. |

Following up on this post.
Paint code 566 - 8728. The 566 referred to the type of paint. 8728 referred to the shade. I found a PPG 2K formula for the paint and bought it today. Toyota P18 is listed against this code. Note when searching on the PC for paint shades you need to put a zero in front of the 4 digit code. Hopefully it is the correct colour. Edited by Aus69Jav - Feb/04/2016 at 4:47am |
