    Bought my truck a couple months ago. Slowly building it. Here’s a before and current state.
    From what I’ve read the mystic purple color is pretty rare. The paint was in some rough shape when I bought it so I wet sanded the clear coat just enough to give it a matte finish and then applied a matte clear coat.

    Nice truck. I don't think I have EVER seen a purple one. I would have bet money (and lost) that Toyota didn't make a Taco in purple. Nice barn pick find there!
