Toyota Prius c Touch Up Paint (31 OEM Colors)

thought I will search for common Toyota Prius C paint problems such as peeling, fading, or soft clear coat issues, and also find the specific paint code location for the Toyota Prius C. Finally, I will write the "Paint Profile" for the Toyota Prius C in the requested raw HTML format, using the PAS framework and the "Paint Whisperer" persona.

The Color Breakdown

Toyota clearly decided the Prius C shouldn't just be a quiet fuel-sipper-it should be a loud fashion statement. With 31 recorded colors, they really went for it. You'll find the usual suspects like Super White 2 and Magnetic Gray Metallic, but then things get spicy. We're talking about high-energy shades like Sun Fusion, Electric Lime Effect, and Tangerine Splash Effect Tricoat. Whether you're driving a lime on wheels or a classic silver commute-machine, there is a lot of personality packed into these small batches of paint.

What to Watch For

Before you start, you need to find your "C/TR" code. Open your driver's door and look at the sticker on the jamb; you're looking for three digits next to the "C" (for color). While Toyota builds a great engine, their clear coat can be a little sensitive. It's been known to "sunburn" or peel on plastic bits like the rear spoiler and the area above the license plate. You might also notice the hood is a magnet for tiny stone chips. Don't worry-these are just battle scars from being a daily hero, and they are completely fixable in your driveway.

Driveway Repair Tip

Many of these fun Prius C colors, like Blizzard Pearl or Matador Red, are "Tricoats," which means they have extra layers of sparkle. My best advice? Shake your touch-up bottle like it owes you money-at least a full 60 seconds-to wake up those metallic flakes. When you go to fill a chip, don't try to fill the whole crater in one go. Apply a tiny, thin layer, let it dry, and come back for a second pass. These specialty colors require patience to get the depth right, but staying calm and using light layers will keep your repair from looking like a glob of nail polish.
