Toyota Grayish Green Pearl Metallic (6R6) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your Camry or Corolla has likely been a reliable companion for many years, and this specific color is a big reason why it still looks respectable on the road. It acts as a chameleon, shifting between a deep mossy green and a slate gray depending on how the sun hits the panels. It is one of the most practical colors Toyota ever produced because it masks road dust and light salt better than almost any other shade. Since your car has probably spent a couple of decades in the elements, the original finish might be slightly muted now, so expect your fresh touch-up to have a bit more life and "pop" than the surrounding aged panels.

Technical Details

This is a pearl metallic finish, which means it contains tiny mica flakes that provide that signature depth. These flakes are heavier than the pigment and will naturally sink to the bottom of your container. If you apply the paint too heavily in one go, the pearls will bunch up and create dark, muddy-looking spots instead of a shimmering green. This finish requires patience because the way the repair catches the light depends entirely on how evenly those flakes are distributed. If the flakes land flat and scattered, the repair blends right in; if they clump, the spot will look like a bruise on the car.

Best Practices

Before you apply Toyota Grayish Green Pearl Metallic (look for code 6R6 on the black VIN sticker inside your driver's side door jamb), you must shake the container for a full minute to get those pearls suspended. Test the color on the included card to get a feel for how the mica lays down before you move to the vehicle. Always work in a garage or the shade to keep the surface cool. Apply thin, light layers rather than one thick coat, and give each layer enough drying time to set. Keep the container moving in steady, even passes to ensure the flakes stay uniform and the color remains consistent across the repair.
