Toyota Dark Sherry Metallic (4W4) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This is a sophisticated, grown-up choice for a family vehicle. On a larger frame like the Highlander or Sequoia, this color provides a premium feel that masks road grime far better than a standard black or navy. On the Prius V, it transforms a functional wagon into something that looks significantly more executive. It is an earthy, deep tone that reveals its character only when the sun hits the metal. Since your Toyota has likely spent several seasons out in the elements, you will appreciate how this shade retains its richness without fading into a dull grey.

Technical Details

This finish relies on a heavy load of metallic flakes to create its signature depth. These flakes act like tiny mirrors, reflecting light at different angles to give the paint its "Sherry" glow. The challenge here is consistency. If the flakes clump together during application, the repair will look darker and muddier than the rest of the panel. Before you spray or dab Toyota Dark Sherry Metallic (check for code 4W4), you need to shake it for at least 60 seconds to pull those heavy particles off the bottom of the container.

Best Practices

You will find your paint code printed on the vehicle identification sticker located on the driver's side door jamb. Once you are ready to begin, work in your garage or a patch of shade to keep the surface cool. Test the color on the included card first to get a feel for the flow and to ensure the metallic sparkle matches your car. When applying the paint, keep the container moving at all times. If you let the paint pool, the metallic flakes will sink to the bottom of the wet spot and create a dark, noticeable ring. Give the paint plenty of drying time between light applications to ensure the finish stays level and crisp.
