Toyota Corolla Touch Up Paint (253 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Toyota has recorded a staggering 314 colors for the Corolla, proving that the world's most popular car doesn't have to be the most predictable. While they certainly mastered the "50 shades of grey" aesthetic with Silver Metallic and Phantom Gray Metallic, they also really went for it with gems like Blue Flame Pearl and Barcelona Red Mica Metallic. Whether you're driving a classic Super White 2 or the more adventurous Cactus Metallic, your Corolla was designed to be a reliable companion that looks good in any driveway.

What to Watch For

Before you start, pop open the driver's side door and look at the jamb. You're looking for a sticker with "C/TR" followed by a three-digit code (like 040 or 1G3)-that is your golden ticket to a perfect match. Now, for the reality check: Toyota paint is notoriously "soft," which is a polite way of saying it's a magnet for rock chips on the hood and roof. If you have Super White or Blizzard Pearl, keep a close eye on the edges of your panels, as these specific shades have a history of wanting to peel away from the car like a bad sunburn. It's nothing you can't handle, but catching a chip early prevents it from becoming a bigger project later.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Corolla colors are metallics or pearls, your biggest secret weapon is the "shake." Give your touch-up bottle or pen a solid 60 seconds of vigorous shaking to wake up those tiny metallic flakes that like to settle at the bottom. When you apply the paint, think of it like nail polish: one thick blob will never look right. Use tiny, thin layers and wait a few minutes between them. If you're working with a pearl finish, it requires a little extra patience-those sparkles need to lay flat to catch the light correctly, so don't rush the process!
