Rolled my Tundra- time for a new color - TundraTalk.net

mareastra · 02-23-2008, 05:25 PM

Two weeks ago I rolled my Tundra in a snowstorm.

Thanks to good luck and to good Toyota engineering, everyone walked away. Believe it or not, even the Tundra was merely bruised...enough that the insurance company decided to repair rather than total it.

But every body panel needs to be replaced or repainted. I've always hated the standard gray pearl that seems to be the color of all the other first gen Tundras around here. So....

What color would you paint your Tundra if you had the chance? Anyone got a custom paint job they'd like to share? I'm looking for ideas.

Salsa Red Pearl!! It is a great color!!

Black is beaytiful clean but the worst to keep clean. When the time comes I will paint mine the dark gray w/ pearl.

mareastra · 02-23-2008, 10:02 PM

Yeah, I'm leaning toward the Salsa Red Pearl, although the Nautical Blue is nice , too. I thought about picking up a first gen Sport; those came in that electric blue color, but they didn't have an Access Cab version.

Black is right out! You cannot keep it clean. Although it does look bad ass.

Chris'TRD, you'll find the dark gray hides dust and road salt well. But I can't go back to it- Tundras are big here, and ALL of them are some shade of gray. A little bit of vanity on my part, but I'd like mine to stand out a little!

Besides, nothing says I have to go with a stock color. Anybody got pix or a site where people have posted custom Tundra paint pix?

I like the Sunfire Red better than Salsa.
The best to me was Stellar Blue!
It was only used for two years.
My son took out a pole on ice in my '02.
Hit it on the left head/fog light.
Didn't look that bad.
Over $6,000 to fix it.

I like the "Speedway Blue" they painted the 06-07 Tacomas.

Possum · 02-26-2008, 04:35 AM

I'd like to see one in mango, hot yellow or mahi mahi green. Ivory pearl, too

MarcDW · 03-03-2008, 06:14 AM

What color was/is it?
I like silver!

Any pictures of the truck now?

nothing cleaner than a nice white

some people may say boring though, especially if you're looking for something custom.

in that case, pearl white lol
