1994 Toyota Touch Up Paint (67 OEM Colors)

The 1994 Toyota Vibe

1994 was a year of absolute legends. You had the unkillable 22RE-powered Truck, the first-gen Avalon, and the MkIV Supra, which was busy cementing its place in the history books. Our database tracks the 7 colors that defined this transition era-the sturdy survivors that stayed on the road while others faded into the background. Whether you were cruising in a Phantom Gray Metallic Camry or hauling gear in a Super Red 4Runner, these Toyotas were over-engineered to outlast their owners, even if the paint technology was still catching up to the drivetrain's reliability.

Paint Health Check

You are currently living in "The Peeling Era." By 1994, Toyota had fully embraced the basecoat/clearcoat system for its metallic finishes, like Dark Blue Pearl Metallic. While this gave the cars a deep, showroom shine, the early UV inhibitors were no match for thirty years of sun. The biggest threat today is "Delamination"-that's when the clear coat loses its bond and starts flaking off in sheets. If you're seeing white, chalky patches on the roof of your Landcruiser or the hood of your Celica, the clear is already checking out. Once that top layer fails, the thin color coat underneath has the lifespan of a fruit fly.

Restoration Tip

The secret to saving a 1994 finish is surgical precision: seal your chips immediately. In this era, a small rock chip isn't just an eyesore; it's an entry point for moisture to get under the clear coat and start the lifting process. If you catch a chip or a small area of peeling clear, use a fine-grit abrasive to feather the edges smooth before applying your touch-up. You want to lock those edges down and seal the "island" of paint before the delamination spreads across the entire panel. Treat it like a small leak in a dam-plug it now, or the whole face is coming off.
