    Howzit,

    bought my ‘95 Tacoma from someone who previously was the original owner since bought brand new in 1995.

    Previous owner touched up paint in 2018. Paint is in good condition for the most part.

    Im open to hear your guises suggestions on a new paint job.

    Two top paint choices for me are:

    1) white pearl w/ silver metal flakes
    2) candy apple red w/ metal flakes

    I work at a body shop so I will be doing the body work my self. Only dropping $$ on the materials.

    lmk!

    I did mine in a Mitsubishi Patriot red pearl color.

    I didn't paint the doorsills or unhood or anything so I would recommend sticking with a similar color to what you have now depending on how much work you wanna do masking things and painting areas like that.
