Paint to match OEM Roof Rack

Alpine_FJ · 03-21-2008, 02:03 PM

Here's a piece of information that may be useful to some of you. If you need a paint that matches the finish on the Factory Roof Rack this is it:

Rust-oleum Textured Black Spray Paint (rattle can). Stock number 7220

Here's a link to the product:

I machined some clamp blocks for a special set of cross bars to go on the factory rack. This paint looks exactly the same as the finish on the rack.

Here another product I found. I have not tried this one out, but it looks like it could be something for those who are "Blackout Fiends".

Palsti Coat Textured black is also a good match (sandable primer & paint)

Ironically, this is what most people are using to black out their FJS, I used this on all of my trims, the only problem is it has a "tough" texture to it...much like Line-X, if you rub a microfiber towel or try to clean it with anything, it will tear the cloth apart.

Good Info here, the textured paint seems more durable but sucks when you dry it after a wash. It grabs the micro cloth and cotton towels leave unsightly fibers behind! I have a new light bar to install and it does not match the OEM finish so I will try, use product type posted here.
