Toyota Blue (2QQ) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your Camry wears this shade because you wanted to move away from the sea of silver and beige commuters. Between 2018 and 2021, this color helped reinvent the model as a sportier, more aggressive sedan. It is a loud, punchy blue that looks brilliant in direct sun but stays honest about how much road salt and dust you have picked up during the week. Because your car has likely spent a few years out in the elements, the original finish may have matured slightly compared to the fresh paint in your hand.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it relies on a precise mix of flakes to give it that signature shimmer. The biggest risk with a metallic like this is "mottling," where the flakes bunch together and create dark, bruise-like spots on the surface. This happens if the paint is applied too heavily or unevenly. You want to build the color with light passes so the flakes can lay flat and catch the light the same way the factory finish does.

Best Practices

You can find your paint information on the VIN sticker located inside the driver's side door jamb, usually listed after the letters "C/TR." Before you spray or dab Toyota Blue (check for code 2QQ), you need to shake it for a full 60 seconds to wake up those metallic particles. Test the color on the included card to see how the flakes settle before you touch your car. When you begin, keep the container moving to ensure the paint stays even. Work in your garage or a well-lit shade to avoid direct heat, and give the surface plenty of drying time between layers to prevent the finish from becoming soft or cloudy.
