Toyota MR2 Touch Up Paint (32 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Toyota didn't hold back with the MR2, giving us 35 recorded colors that perfectly captured the "fun-sized supercar" vibe. They really went for it with shades like Super Bright Yellow and Orange Pearl Mica Metallic, though they also leaned into the classics with Super Red III and a surprisingly deep list of "Two-Tones" like the iconic Jade/Beige combo. Whether yours is a sleek Slate Gray Metallic or a vibrant Blue Pearl, these cars were designed to stand out, which makes every rock chip feel like a personal insult.

What to Watch For

Finding your paint code is the first step of the mission. On the early models (AW11), look for the metal plate on the firewall in the engine bay. For the second-gen (SW20), pop the front trunk (the "frunk") and look for the ID plate on the bulkhead near the spare tire-it's tucked away, so you might need a flashlight. On the Spyders, check the driver's side door jamb or under the front cowl.

Keep a close eye on the front hood and the engine lid. Because the MR2 sits so low, it's a magnet for road debris, and the heat from the mid-mounted engine can make the paint on the rear lid a bit more brittle over time. Also, if you're rocking the classic Super Red, you might notice it looks a bit "pinkish" compared to the fresh paint in your bottle; this is normal aging for these cars, and a little patience during application will help your repair disappear into the finish.

Driveway Repair Tip

Many MR2 colors, especially the metallics and those gorgeous pearls, rely on heavy "flop"-that's the way the sparkles catch the light at different angles. To get this right with a touch-up pen or brush, shake your bottle for a full 60 seconds (set a timer!) to wake up those settled metallic flakes. When applying, think "thin and patient." Instead of one big glob to fill a hole, dab on a tiny, thin layer, let it dry for 20 minutes, and then add another. If you have a solid color like Black or Super White and your applicator starts to look a little colored, don't worry! Many of these cars used "single-stage" paint from the factory, meaning the color goes all the way through.
