Where can I find my Toyota’s paint code?

No matter which model of Toyota you drive, you can find the paint code for your Toyota in the same place: the driver’s side door jamb on the VIN sticker. The sticker will be white, silver, or black.

Toyota paint color codes start with C/TR. The important part is the numerical and alphabetical code that comes after the C/TR prefix. The paint code is on the left side of the tag, just beneath the bar code.

Once you have the code, check out the

Toyota paint code chart

to find the exact color of your vehicle.

What if there’s no paint code on the car’s label?

If you cannot find the paint code for any reason, use your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) to look up the Toyota paint code.

The VIN may be located in one of three locations on your vehicle:

On the certification label inside the driver’s-side door jamb

On a metal plate on the lower-right corner of the driver’s side dashboard

Stamped under the front passenger seat

If you cannot find the

VIN

, check the car’s title and registration. Once you have the VIN, go online or call a dealership. They can pull up the Toyota paint colors according to the VIN.

Paint touch-up tips

If you plan to handle paint touch-ups yourself, check out these quick tips first. Here’s what you need to know to do a professional-quality paint job on your Toyota:

Clean the damaged areas gently with soap

If rust is present, sand the damaged area with fine sandpaper

Prime the damaged area, allowing time for it to cure. Then sand down the primer to create a level surface

Paint it with the proper color. Apply several coats, allowing time for each coat to dry completely. Let the entire vehicle dry overnight

Top with a protective clear coat using the same method above

Buff the area with a rubbing solution after three days to make it shine

For a very small area—like a small scratch—you could definitely get away with purchasing a paint pen or smaller paint pack instead of a full can of paint.
