Scion xD Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Scion wasn't exactly known for being "subtle." During the xD's run, they recorded 18 different colors, ranging from the corporate-cool Magnetic Gray Metallic to the "I-hope-you-saw-me-coming" Electric Wasabi Green and Hot Lava. They really went for it with this lineup, even throwing in some moody options like Deep Amethyst Metallic. Whether yours is a wild lime or a classic Super White 2, this car was designed to stand out in a parking lot.
What to Watch For
Here is the honest truth from the driveway: Scion paint from this era is a bit on the "sensitive" side. It tends to be a thinner finish, which means your hood is likely a graveyard for rock chips, and the horizontal surfaces-like your roof-can get a little cranky and start to fade if left in the sun too long. If you have the Super White, keep an eye out for peeling; it's a known quirk of the family tree. To find your exact match, open the driver's door and look at the ID sticker on the jamb. Look for the letters "C/TR"-the three-digit code right after that is your golden ticket.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since Scion loved their pearls and metallics (looking at you, Black Sand Pearl), your biggest hurdle is the "sparkle settle." Before you touch the car, shake your touch-up bottle or pen for at least two full minutes-it requires patience to get those metallic flakes suspended so they don't all clump in one spot. When you apply it, don't try to fill a deep chip in one go. Think of it like a tiny cake: apply one thin layer, let it dry for 20 minutes to "shrink" into the hole, and then add another. This prevents that "pimple" look and keeps the repair flush with the rest of your paint.
