Where to find Toyota color code

How to Find Your Toyota's Color Code

On all Toyota models, the color ID plate is on the drivers door jamb. It shows the letters C/TR and then the paint code. Example: C/TR 3P1 FA09. The color code is 3P1; FA09 is not part of the color code and is an interior option code. For example, 3P1 is Impulse Red Metallic Clearcoat; names may vary like Red Metallic Clearcoat or Wine Metallic Clearcoat. The color code can also be obtained from a dealer using the VIN.

Your Paint Color Profile

Moondust Metallic

The Look

This is not your average rental-car silver. Since your Highlander or Crown likely came with this premium finish, you already know it sits in that sophisticated space between a stormy sky and a piece of brushed titanium. It is a complex blue-grey that picks up the light in a way that standard silvers can't manage. Toyota used this shade to highlight the deeper body lines of its modern fleet, making it a favorite for those who want a luxury feel without the maintenance nightmare of a black car. It does a respectable job of hiding road salt and light dust, but the true character of the color only shows up when the sun hits the metallic flakes.

Technical Details

Because this is a heavy metallic finish, it is a bit more demanding than a solid white or black. The silver particles in the paint are prone to settling at the bottom of the container, which can lead to a "mottled" or striped look if you aren't careful. If the paint is applied too heavy in one spot, the flakes will bunch up and make the repair look darker than the surrounding area. You want those flakes to stand up and catch the light evenly, otherwise, your touch-up will look like a dull smudge. This is a two-stage color, meaning the depth and protection come from the clear layer you apply afterward.

Best Practices

You can find your official color information on the driver's side door jamb; look for the "C/TR" line on the VIN sticker. Before you apply any Toyota Moondust Metallic (verify you have code 1K5), you must shake the container for at least two full minutes. If you don't hear the mixing ball rattling vigorously, the metallic flakes won't distribute, and the color will be off. Test the color on the included card to see how the shimmer looks once it dries. When you are ready for the car, keep the container moving and apply several thin layers rather than one thick glob. This patience ensures the metal particles lay flat and the blue-grey hue matches the rest of your panel. Give it plenty of drying time before you move on to your clear coat.

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 Toyota Paint Code Guide for detailed instructions.

Will this paint match my car?

Yes. If your Toyota's color code is '1K5', your paint is custom-mixed to factory specs and backed by our Color Match Guarantee. If the paint does not match your Toyota, 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.
