Toyota Innova Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
The Toyota Innova is the undisputed champion of the school run and the family road trip, and Toyota kept the palette as dependable as the engine. While they've offered a few variations over the years, our records highlight the one true hero of the driveway: Beige Metallic. It's the "sensible shoe" of car colors-professional, hides dust like a pro, and looks just as good at a wedding as it does in a grocery store parking lot. They didn't need a rainbow when they perfected the art of the sophisticated neutral.
What to Watch For
Before you start dabbing, you need to find your "C/TR" (Color/Trim) code. On the Innova, this is almost always living on a sticker inside the driver's side door jamb. Toyota paint is known for being a bit "soft," which is a polite way of saying it's prone to stone chips on that expansive hood and front bumper. You might also notice the clear coat getting a little shy (peeling) on the roof or door handles if the car spends a lot of time under the sun. Don't worry, though; catching these spots early with a touch-up is exactly how you keep a small flake from becoming a big headache.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since Beige Metallic relies on tiny flakes to get ? "metallic" shimmer, your biggest challenge isn't the color-it's the gravity. Those sparkles like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for at least 60 seconds (set a timer!) to wake them up. When applying, think "less is more." Use the tip of the brush to drop a tiny bead of paint into the center of the chip and let it spread out to the edges. If the chip is deep, it requires patience; do two thin layers rather than one big glob that will just end up looking like a tiny beige mountain on your hood.
