6M3 under Toyota paint code, is silver spruce metallic... Using this site:
http://www.paintscratch.com/search.html

BUT... my car is a TEAL colour (Blueish/Grey/Green) and has the paint code 6M3 too... http://www.toyotaimportsforum.co.uk/soarer/z30soarer_colours.htm

I need my front bumper painted and need a paint code...

Anyone care to shed some light on this?? There is no 6M3 TEAL according to any paint shop, only silver spruce.

Paint code: 760 is the closest I can remotely relate to.

For a picture of my cars colour, check my profile.

This is the site i used: http://www.paintscratch.com/search.html

6M3 IS teal and looks to be correct for your car.
What some paint shop calls it doesn't really matter.

I think that colour chart in the above link is wrong. My car is 6m3 and is a lighter colour compared to the teal in the chart. Some years ago I got some touch up paint from Toyota. Gave them 6m3 and got a bottle labelled grey/green.Teal was a 1994 colour, although not mentioned on the chart above. Both Robert Hayden and Dave Johnson had 1994 teal Soarers, much darker than 6m3.Here's a crap pic of my car but shows paler than teal

There is a picture of a teal Soarer under the Lexus logo up the top of this page.

Our 91 UZZ30 Soarer is colour coded 6M3, and the colour is called "Grayish Green Metallic", and that is by the TOYOTA parts CD.

So, I am RIGHT, and ewe's fulla's are ALL wrong!.
