Paint for tow hitch

I was pulling some bushes out & tried a stump that didnt want to budge, it bent the thing on the side of the hitch a little bit, i had a tow strap looped around it.
Was able to bang it pretty straight with a mallet & some wood, but need to paint it.

Anyone know what the OEM color is for Tacoma underbody?

 

black

 

Flat black

 

Black

 

lol i know black, is toyota #202? or another color

 

Honestly, I don't know. You might just try Rustoleum or something similar in a generic black, and just spray the whole hitch if you're concerned about it not matching.

 

I would use Rustoleum gloss black.

 

I would respray whole tow hitch

 

I think the Toyota factory match color is hot pink. Just spray some black paint on it that you have sitting in the garage and move on.

 

I've done the same thing to mine. If you can in the future put the receiver in and put the loop over the ball.

 

Black sharpie! J/K, but good job on straightening out that hitch. Looks as good as new.

 

Just a heads up for future it is much better/safer to put a hitch pin through the eyelet of your strap and put in the hitch...
i imagine any gloss black should be close enough.

Leave it. Looks nice. Battle wounds add character.

 

Rustoleum black. It'll get chipped and worn in the future if you use it.
For future work....

 

I agree, but the lease return inspector might not feel the same

 

thanks, im gonna get one of those, was all gung ho about doing yard work today since its finally nice out.. didnt think too far ahead

 

Truck is totaled, better go buy a 2018.

 

100% guarantee they will not care, hitches get used and they rust and sometimes they get bent. Don't worry they are just gonna plop your returned lease Taco on the used lot when your done with it and it'll sell for the usual 28-33k because it's a Tacoma.

 

It appears to be closest to satin black. I would get a little brush and a spray some epoxy primer into a can, paint with the brush, they top coat the same way with satin black.
