It's almost a shame not to go with the green because it's become so synonymous with 4X Overland adventures, but man that blue is killer... I say mix it up and give the blue a go! 😊

Dunno why everyone's saying blue, when he's already got a blue Troopy down under. We've seen enough green Troopy's as well. I think the orange like the dream tourer will look awesome.

@@4xoverland But it's not pollux orange which Toyota nailed first with the fj40 series As hard as Ford tries they are not even the same level. Like calling a "green" Explorer or Endura a Prado.😮(please forgive this blast famously)🥺🤔 The color is for the owner. If you prefer green and blue that's your preference very good preferences might I say. 👍 Orange seems to be making a come back. Especially when looking at the long history the color has had with Toyota over the decades. Great job though, who would have quessed a video on what color to paint a vehicle would get so much engagement. 🏆🎥🎬💡📺 But you are also an expert videographer and youtuber though Content Creator is a much better term.💪👍😁
Both of those colors are very nice. How about totally different, like an orange. I'm painting my HJ45 Toyota Olive Green 653. Used to have a Jeep painted in zebra stripes (did it myself). Damn thing had an agent and would be used in photo shoots! Thought about it for the HJ, except instead of black stripes over white, Coyote Brown stripes over desert tan. But the Olive Green 653 is too beautiful to pass up. Anyway, I lean more towards the green.

Cadet Blue for sure. It looks absolutely amazing. Would without a doubt, make the LC stand out.

Hi Andrew, I have only recently found this video series and it’s been great to watch. I’m in the UK, I drive a Disco 1 and I work on Land Rovers occasionally. I did a rebuild on an LC79 V8 (2009) that belongs to a friend locally, it came in from Australia a few years ago. We had ours painted in Toyota Atlantic Blue (from UN white!) Loving the series of videos! Keep up the good work

Lovely Ep guys
I don't think that you could have chosen better people to restore your car, than the ones featured in this series of Clips. They are so good in what they do.
Both the blue and green are very nice thats a tough choice. I wonder how a 2 tone would look, like you see some with white roofs or maybe a different color along the bottom of some sort it would be very unique with a 2 tone. Even some sort of graphics like some sort of vintage toyota graphic down the sides but tailored to fit the troopy might be neat. I'm more of a solid color type guy but its always good to look into different options that always leads me to new ideas. I really like that green but the blue is also wonderful. Either one will look fantastic. Something as small as a properly placed pinstripe can really change the look of a vehicle for the better. I really enjoy doing those small details.

@QnA22
10 ай бұрын
White roof practical? You mean for the sun? Recent myth busting research has proven that there is no difference in heat take up between white or black. Not truly a surprise as you see that people in hot countries don't have white as a preferred color.
Blue, white roof and black bonnet 👌
The logical thing to do is go for green. It shouldn't cause confusion. It just say's that when Andrew has a Troopy he has it in green. If you really feel you need something different then a bold move would be SAS pink, it'll definitely get you some attention.
I have decided it is to be GREEN 👍👋
thank you for video like blue/grey with white
Cadet blue somehow just looks better. And greens my favourite colour usually 😊
Both look really good. I do like the green…
Very nice!
Cant wait to see it orange!
The blue with the white roof👌
I like white just because pinstriping/scratches doesn't show that much 😂 My grey hilux is horrible in that regard.
Like the green you did back then, i would like to see a new 1st. Something partially retro, partially modern. Not necessarily stylish, can be Suzuki Jimny cool.
I Recon we saw a Glimpse of the Colour in the very last Shot........... Given the Car is called Mr Colin Der (Colander) it can also be called Mr C. Der (Cedar) so therefore a Colour that Matches the Timber would be Appropriate.
I would usually say green. But that blue... oooo I like that blue
Cadet Blue would be my choice. I am not a green fan, but I do like the green you showed. It shows more lively. The Cadet Blue is a bit dull compared and I find it more grey then blue. I know I am not much help either. But the Cadet Blue is. more suitable for the old LC. The green is better for the Troopy. So green it should be.

I know what you’re saying about the Green and I love that Blue, but I get the impression you’re not 100% taken with the Grey / Blue of your current Australian Troopy and this Blue has a hint of that colour to it, plus I’m not sure if a Troopy suits Blue as much as Green. So I’d go with Green (again)…..
