Toyota Dark Green (6V7) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This is the ultimate tactical aesthetic for the off-road crowd. While the catalog might call it a dark green, most enthusiasts know this as Army Green. It first gained a cult following on the FJ Cruiser before migrating to the TRD Pro versions of your 4Runner, Tacoma, and Sequoia. It is a rugged, utilitarian shade that looks better with a little mud on the tires than it does sitting in a driveway. Because your vehicle has likely spent its life under the sun or deep in the brush since its 2010 debut, you might notice the original finish has matured. This color is built for the trail, and it carries that legacy every time you take it out of the garage.

Technical Details

You are working with a solid finish. Unlike many modern paints, this one does not rely on metallic flakes or pearl pigments to catch the light. This is an advantage for you because you do not have to worry about the orientation of flakes or "mottling" where the color looks striped. However, solid colors like this are very honest. They show every ripple and heavy drip if you apply the paint too thickly. The depth comes from the pigment itself, which means you need to focus on achieving a smooth, level surface to match the factory look.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on the identification sticker inside the driver's side door jamb; look for the three characters next to the C/TR heading. Before you spray or dab Toyota Dark Green (check for code 6V7), you need to shake the container for at least 60 seconds to ensure those heavy green pigments are fully blended. Always test the color on the included card to verify the match against your specific fender or door. When you start the repair, apply two or three light layers rather than one heavy coat. If you are using a can, keep the container moving at a steady pace to prevent puddling. Let each layer sit for the recommended drying time in the shade before adding the next to build a durable, flat finish that blends with the rest of your rig.
