Toyota Crown Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Toyota didn't just give the Crown a regal name; they gave it a wardrobe to match. With 28 colors recorded, they really went for it. You've got the dignified classics like Super White 2 and Precious Metal Metallic, but then things get spicy with Bronze Age, Mustard, and the atmospheric Stormcloud. And let's not forget those daring Two-Tone combinations-nothing says "I've arrived" quite like a car that literally couldn't decide on just one color.
The Reality Check
While the Crown carries itself like royalty, its "skin" can be a little sensitive. Owners have noted that the modern clear coat is on the softer side, which means the front hood and those wide door panels are magnets for tiny chips from road debris. If you're hunting for your color code to fix a battle scar, don't go on a treasure hunt through the trunk. Open your driver's side door and look at the "B-pillar" jamb. You're looking for a sticker with C/TR (Color/Trim) followed by a three-digit code. If you have a two-tone model, you might see two codes separated by a slash-just match the one that corresponds to the part of the car you're fixing.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since the Crown loves its metallic and pearl finishes (looking at you, Precious White Tricoat and Nautical Blue), your biggest secret weapon is a good workout for your arm. Shake that touch-up bottle or pen for at least 60 full seconds. These paints are packed with tiny "sparkle" flakes that like to settle at the bottom; if you don't wake them up, your repair will look flat. When applying, remember: three thin whispers of paint are always better than one big, gloppy "thud." Let each layer dry for about 15 minutes, and you'll have that Crown looking showroom-ready without the royal price tag.
