1993 Toyota Touch Up Paint (68 OEM Colors)

The 1993 Toyota Vibe

1993 was the year Toyota decided their engines would outlive the heat death of the universe, even if the paint department was playing a slightly different game. Whether you were hauling the family in a 4Runner, turning heads in a Supra, or living that "spaceship-chic" life in a Previa, these cars were built like tanks. In our database, we've focused on the survivors-the 7 colors that actually mattered, from the iconic Super Red to the "bright-enough-to-see-from-space" Super White 2. It was a time of simple, bold choices before the world turned into a sea of fifty shades of grey.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to The Peeling Era. By 1993, Toyota was deep into the transition between old-school single stage and modern basecoat/clearcoat systems. If you're rocking a solid color like Super Red, you're likely fighting "The Fade"-that chalky oxidation that makes your car look like it's been dusted with flour. But if you have one of the metallics, like Dark Blue Pearl or Silver Metallic, you're facing the dreaded "Delamination." That clear coat on the roof and hood is probably starting to flake off like a bad sunburn, leaving the base color exposed and defenseless against the elements.

Restoration Tip

The secret to keeping a '93 Toyota looking decent is chip containment. Because the clear coat from this era is prone to lifting, a single rock chip is basically an invitation for the rest of the panel to start peeling. You need to seal those chips the second you see them. Don't wait for the weekend; if moisture or air gets under that clear edge, it'll start to lift in sheets. Clean the spot, dab on your color, and seal it up. It's the only way to stop the "peeling dandruff" before your 4Runner starts looking like a topographical map.
