    Hello team, I'm getting a very good deal on a used camper shell. Unfortunately, it is not the same color as my TRD PRO(Inferno Red- AKA Orange). Any estimate to color match it? can I just buy the paint? if so, where?
    Note: I do not need the camper to stay put for a very long time(but when it does, I do not want it to look funny color mismatched and all..), I will remove the shell after summer as I haul motorcycles all the time.

    Depends on condition. $500-1000 for paint and clear done by a shop. You can order paint from an automotive paint supplier in your area, it might not be perfect but they should be able to handle it. Because you're removing the shell in the summer your truck paint will fade faster than the shell will, so after a few years you might notice a slight difference in color.

    That is "ok" with me. I only need camper for camping trips(without looking like a total hobo). For the most part, I need to it off to load ATV/motorcycles(crappy projects!).

    When I ordered my Snug Top XTR it was the first Inferno one they had done....tried paint from 3 suppliers and they weren't happy so ended up ordering paint directly from Toyota. Came out pretty close, sort of like the flares etc in that the fiberglass doesn't look just the same as the steel. I think you would get a closer match if you have the truck there when it is painted as Inferno seems to be one of those colors that changes with each coat.
