2022 Tundra in Toyota Magnetic Gray
This 2022 Toyota Tundra was brought back to a factory-accurate finish in Toyota Magnetic Gray — an OEMatch basecoat mixed to the exact factory color code so the panels read true from every angle. It runs as a straightforward 2-stage system: AP-7541g gray sealer as the ground coat, Toyota Magnetic Gray basecoat for the color, and HS Glamour clearcoat for the gloss and protection.
Below is how the build came together — the prep, the products, and the steps you'd follow to match the same factory finish on your own 2022 Toyota Tundra.

This 2022 Toyota Tundra was sprayed with the same Toyota Magnetic Gray vehicle paint kit we ship to every customer — no shop-only products and no shortcuts. The system is DTM primer-sealer, Toyota Magnetic Gray basecoat, and HS Glamour clearcoat, plus Alpha urethane reducer, HS activator, and the TSS cheat sheet to keep every ratio straight. Because Toyota Magnetic Gray is a 2-stage OEMatch color, it sprays beginner-friendly over the gray sealer and matches the factory code without a tri-stage learning curve. The kit you'd buy is the kit on this build.
The Color: Why Toyota Magnetic Gray?
Toyota Magnetic Gray is an OEMatch automotive basecoat matched precisely to the factory color code — a refined factory metallic gray with a fine, controlled metallic flake. It's bound in Alpha's pigment-controlled binder for smooth, even coverage without striping or mottling, with strong UV resistance so the finish stays true in the sun.
Toyota Magnetic Gray is designed to be sprayed over a gray ground coat of AP-7541g gray sealer — the ground coat the color was built for. Over the gray sealer, Toyota Magnetic Gray basecoat delivers full coverage and the intended factory hue at its cleanest, most accurate tone.

What's Inside the Vehicle Paint Kit
These are all the products included in the Toyota Magnetic Gray Full Vehicle Paint Kit. Every product is already matched and compatible — no hunting across brands, no guessing on ratios.
AP-7541g Gray Sealer (DTM Primer-Sealer) — The gray ground coat this OEMatch color is built on. AP-7541 DTM primer-sealer gives the color a uniform, factory-accurate foundation.
Toyota Magnetic Gray Basecoat — A 2-stage OEMatch basecoat matched to the factory color code. Toyota Magnetic Gray basecoat mixes 1:1 with reducer for smooth, even coverage.
HS Glamour Clear (AC-4521) — AC-4521 HS Glamour clearcoat lays the deep, glassy gloss over the color and locks in UV and chip protection.
Alpha Urethane Reducer (AR-3000 Series) — Alpha urethane reducer thins the basecoat to a 1:1 spray-ready ratio for even, controlled coats.
HS Activator (AH-7100 Series) — AH-7100 HS activator catalyzes the HS Glamour clear so it cures hard, clear, and durable.
TSS Cheat Sheet — The TSS cheat sheet keeps every mix ratio and flash window at your fingertips through the whole job.

Step 1: Prep & Bodywork
Every clean finish starts with the metal underneath. The panels were blocked straight and the old finish knocked down with OptiGrit abrasives before any color went on. Skip this and Toyota Magnetic Gray basecoat will telegraph every flaw.
Step 2: AP-7541g Gray Sealer (Ground Coat)
A gray ground coat of AP-7541g gray sealer is the foundation this OEMatch color was built on — it's what lets Toyota Magnetic Gray basecoat read full and factory-true. Lay it uniform and let it flash before basecoat.
Step 3: Basecoat
Toyota Magnetic Gray basecoat mixes 1:1 with Alpha urethane reducer and builds in smooth, even coats until the factory color comes up evenly across every panel. Let each coat flash before the next.
Step 4: HS Glamour Clearcoat
HS Glamour clearcoat, catalyzed with HS activator, is where the depth comes alive — it buries the color in a wet, glassy gloss and gives you the factory-grade UV and chip protection.
Step 5: Cut & Buff
Once the HS Glamour clearcoat is fully cured, a light cut with fine OptiGrit and a buff brings the finish to a mirror. Reference the TSS cheat sheet for the ratios and flash windows so nothing gets rushed.
