2009 Black Color Pics?

MTBAlex · 09-07-2008, 01:45 PM

Hey guys,

I'm debating whether to purchase a 2008 FJ for a good price or wait until the 2009 comes out. One of the big considerations is the color. I heard that the 2009 will have a nonmetallic black color. Is that true? any pics so far? By nonmetallic black is it matte?

There are not any picts yet from Toyota. The black will be a glossy black but no metal flake at all.. Just plain black..

Buy an 08 with the metal flake and scratch it all of with bushes.

Probably not, just non-metallic, ie: no metal flake - just a gloss finish such as in the current Sun Fusion (Yellow) or Voodoo Blue.

Toyota's Webiste though, still refers to the black as "Black Diamond," implying the paint would/might be the same, ie: a metallic finish.

A.W.D.

i agree. just keep a layer of dust on it and you wont know its got the flake.

Are they at least offering an option to black out the top?

I was put in a similar situation when i got my car, and it all depends if you are planning on selling the car anytime soon. As for the color, the only solid colored fjs that came out (same color top) are the TRD Special Editions

Good Luck

Im dying to see the new black!!! Getting ready to buy my fj soon but holding off to see the new black.

Nothing really that special with the new black other than not having metallic flakes. It's just gonna be regular black, which might make it easier to touch up if scratched.

I can't wait to see what Toyota has in store for the new TRD SE!!!!!
