Where to find Scion color code

How to Find Your Scion's Color Code

Scion is manufactured by Toyota and shares many of the same color codes. On all models, the color ID plate on the drivers door jamb shows C/TR followed by the paint code. Example: C/TR 3P1 FA09, where the color code is 3P1; FA09 has nothing to do with the color code and is an interior option code. The same paint appears across models under different names (e.g., 3P1 is Impulse Red Metallic Clearcoat). The code is also available from a dealer via the VIN.

Your Paint Color Profile

Orange

The Look

You are driving a rare bird. Since Scion only built 2,000 units of the Release Series 9.0 tC, that vibrant shade on your car is more than just a loud choice; it is a piece of the brand's final chapter. This color was designed to mimic a custom show car right off the lot, and it does that by demanding attention in any parking lot. Because your tC has been out in the elements for almost ten years, you might notice the original finish has a depth that standard oranges cannot match.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the paint is packed with tiny flakes that catch the light to create that magma glow. These flakes are heavy and like to sink to the bottom of the container while you work. If you do not keep the paint mixed, you will end up with a patch that looks too dark or lacks the sparkle of the rest of the fender. Metallic colors are also sensitive to how they are applied. If you pile the paint on too thick in one spot, the flakes will bunch up and create a dark, muddy look.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Scion Orange (check for code 4W2), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can find that code on the manufacturer sticker inside your driver's side door jamb, usually right next to the C/TR text. Once you are ready, test the color on the included card to make sure the flake density matches your car. Work in a cool, dry garage or in the shade to keep the surface temperature down. Apply the paint in thin, light layers rather than one heavy coat. Between each layer, give it enough drying time so the surface is no longer tacky. This patience ensures the metallic particles lay flat and uniform. If you are using a spray can, keep the container moving in steady passes to avoid any hot spots.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4” long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find my vehicle’s paint code?

Your paint code is usually found in the driver’s door jamb, trunk, or under the hood. See our Scion Paint Code Guide for detailed instructions.

Will this paint match my car?

Yes. If your Scion's color code is '4W2', your paint is custom-mixed to factory specs and backed by our Color Match Guarantee. If the paint does not match your Scion, we will send you a replacement or refund.

Do I need primer and clearcoat?

While primer is recommended on bare metal or plastic, clearcoat is essential: it protects the basecoat and restores factory gloss.

How long does shipping take?

Orders are mixed fresh and ship within 3–5 business days. Delivery takes 2–14 days depending on location.

Which touch up product should I choose?

 It depends on the size of the damage:

  • Paint Pen (½ oz) – Best for very small chips and fine scratches.
  • Brush Bottle (2 oz) – Great for medium chips or scratches up to the size of a quarter.
  • Spray Can – Ideal for larger areas and panels.
  • Professional Sizes (Pint, Quart, Gallon) – Designed for full panel and vehicle resprays using spray equipment.

Not sure? If it’s just rock chips or small scratches, start with a Paint Pen.

Can I return my order?

Yes! If there’s a color match issue, we’ll replace the product or give you your money back. You also can return unopened, non-custom accessories for a full refund.

How long will the paint last in storage?

Paint pens and bottles last about a year if stored cool and dry. Spray cans can last several years if the nozzle is cleaned.
