Toyota Highlander Hybrid Touch Up Paint (19 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Toyota really covered the spectrum for the Highlander Hybrid, recording a total of 19 colors that range from "sensible suburbanite" to "unexpected weekend adventurer." They gave us everything from the dependable Super White 2 and Magnetic Gray Metallic to more adventurous choices like Cypress Pearl and the surprisingly bold Iced Amethyst. It's clear they wanted to make sure there was a shade for every driveway, whether you're trying to blend into the carpool lane or make a subtle statement at the trailhead.

What to Watch For

To find your specific color match, open the driver's side door and look at the VIN sticker on the door jamb-you're looking for a three-digit code right next to the "C/TR" label. While Toyota paint is generally hardy, the Highlander has some known "soft spots." Keep a close eye on the roof, the hood, and especially the area around the gas cap. Owners of Blizzard Pearl and Super White should be particularly vigilant; these colors have a history of peeling if a rock chip is left to its own devices for too long. If you see a small chip, address it before it decides to invite its friends and turn into a larger flake.

Driveway Repair Tip

When you're working with a touch-up pen or brush, remember that you are a surgeon, not a house painter. Many Highlander colors, especially those beautiful pearls like Sonora Gold, require patience to get the depth right. Before you start, shake your touch-up bottle for at least 60 seconds-longer than you think you need to-to wake up those metallic flakes. Apply the paint in thin, whisper-light layers rather than one big glob. If you're working on a pearl finish, three thin layers will always look better and more professional than one thick "blob" that never quite levels out.
