Toyota Avensis Touch Up Paint (17 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Toyota didn't just play it safe with the Avensis; they gave us a respectable palette of 17 colors. While most owners opted for the "sensible professional" look, Toyota occasionally let their hair down with shades like Avant Garde Bronze Metallic and Light Olive Mica Metallic. We even see a rare Orange Metallic in the mix-someone at the factory clearly had a wild Friday. Whether you're driving the sleek Barcelona Red Mica Metallic or the classic Silver Metallic, this car was built to last, even if the finish is starting to show its age.

What to Watch For

The Avensis is a workhorse, but its "skin" can be a little sensitive. If you're rocking Super White 2 or Blizzard Pearl, keep a close eye on the roof and hood. These specific shades are known for "sun-seeking"-where the paint decides it would rather be anywhere but on your car, leading to small chips that can grow if ignored. You'll also want to check the leading edge of the hood; the paint here is famously soft and tends to collect road chips like a magnet. To find your specific match, open the front door (usually the passenger side on UK models) and look for a black sticker on the pillar. You're searching for the letters "C/TR" followed by a three-digit code like 1C0 or 040.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Avensis colors are metallics or "Mica" pearls (like Blue Pearl or Magnetic Gray), your touch-up bottle is basically a snow globe. Those tiny metallic flakes love to settle at the bottom. Shake that bottle for at least two full minutes-long after your arm gets tired-to ensure the sparkles are evenly distributed. When applying, don't try to fill a deep chip in one go. Drip a tiny amount in, let it dry for 20 minutes, and repeat. It requires patience to build it up level with the rest of the car, but the result will look much smoother than a single, heavy blob.
