Sheefa Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Hi all I've got a few areas in my engine bay I would like to sort this month. Nothing major just a few chips and spots of discolouration etc. The engine bay paint code is clearly different to the exterior, although it looks to have a hint of the 199 alpine silver in it. Can anyone help please and provide the code? We're the engine bay paint codes different for each exterior colour option? Many thanks Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks Greg I've always thought the engine bays on supras were the same colour but just base-coat? I.e. Without the laquer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie_b Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 +2: I've got a MSB supra and the engine bay looks like MSB too, but without the glossy finish of the laquer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that but I have the Chipex kit and genuine Toyota touch up pen, both aren't premixed with lacquer, but it is definitely a different colour to the exterior.

ripped_fear Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 The silver supras are the only ones to have just primmer under the bonnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Simon sent me a small pot of grey engine bay paint to touch up a few areas and once the paint has dried looks spot on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samdale Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 BUMP. Looking to get some paint on my 1B9 quicksilver engine bay but struggling with a code. Would be going to a paint shop so need a code not just a rattle can. Looks like I've got some over spray from previous external work that I want to sort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand My exact thought, a production line isn't going to spray a shell in different colours, the problems I think the 199 owners are having here is discolouration of a light colour with engine oils etc staining an unsealed surface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edviss Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 all 199 supras have primer in engine bay instead of actual colour. Every other colour of supra is painted with the same paint without lacquer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 (edited) Seems this has come up elsewhere and the difference in colour is put down to the lack of clear coat: https://www.supraforums.com/threads/engine-bay-color-code.1125954/ It’s sometimes surprising what a difference to the colour a clear coat (or lack thereof) can make, however if you’re convinced the engine bay isn’t 199 minus the clear coat then having the paint mixed is likely your only option. I believe primer, if that’s all it is, tends not to have a paint code. Edited February 23, 2023 by Hamilton (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
