Toyota 477T Touch Up Paint (9 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Toyota didn't play it safe with this lineup-they really went for it. With 9 colors recorded for the 477T series, you're looking at everything from the workhorse Super White 2 and Black to some of the most adventurous factory shades of the '90s and early 2000s. If you're rocking Bright Orchid Metallic or Light Purple Opal Metallic, you aren't just driving a car; you're driving a vibe. Whether it's the earthy Frosted Pine Pearl or the deep Red Pearl, these colors were designed to stand out in a parking lot of beige.

What to Watch For

Toyota paint from this era is generally reliable, but it has two distinct personalities. If you have Super White 2, keep an eye on the edges of your hood and roof; this specific shade is known for "checking out" early, where the paint can occasionally peel away from the primer if the sun has been beating on it for twenty years. For the metallics and pearls like Dark Green Pearl, the clear coat is your best friend but also your weakest link-it tends to get a bit thin on the door handles and side mirrors.

Pro Tip: To confirm your exact match, open your driver's door and look for the silver or black sticker on the jamb. You're looking for a three-digit code next to the letters "C/TR" (Color/Trim). That code is the secret handshake you need to get the right bottle.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since most of these colors are pearls or metallics (shoutout to Denim Blue Pearl), the "sparkles" inside the bottle like to settle at the bottom like heavy sediment. Before you even touch the car, shake that bottle or spray can for a full two minutes-even if your arm gets tired. You want to "wake up" those metallic flakes so they lay down evenly.

When applying, patience is your superpower. Don't try to fill a deep chip with one big "glop" of paint. Use a tiny amount on the tip of your brush to build it up in thin layers, waiting 15 minutes between each. It might take three passes to get it level, but that's how you keep the repair looking like a professional did it in your driveway.
