Toyota Prius Prime/PHV Touch Up Paint (21 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Toyota didn't just give us a car that sips fuel; they gave us a palette that ranges from "Invisible Commuter" to "Main Character Energy." With 21 recorded colors for the Prius Prime and PHV, they really leaned into the metallic spectrum. You've got the classics like Super White 2 and Silver Metallic, but then things get spicy with names like Spirited Aqua Blue Metallic and Hypersonic Red Tricoat. Whether yours is a "50 shades of gray" variant like Magnetic Gray Metallic or a glowing Sonic Titanium, this car was designed to look sleek while it saves the planet.

What to Watch For

Before you crack open that paint pen, let's talk shop. Toyota's eco-friendly finish can be a bit sensitive. Owners often report "soft" clear coats that are prone to etching from bird droppings or tiny rock chips on the hood that seem to appear out of nowhere. If you're driving a Blizzard Pearl or Super White model, keep a close eye on the roof and hood-these specific shades have a history of wanting to part ways with the primer if left exposed to the elements for too long.

You'll find your "secret handshake" (the paint code) on a sticker inside the driver's side door jamb. Look for the letters "C/TR" followed by a three-digit code (like 070 or 1G3). That code is your north star for a perfect match.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since many Prime colors like White Nova and Hypersonic Red are "Tricoats" (which is just fancy talk for having extra layers of sparkle), they require patience. These paints use tiny pearl flakes that love to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full two minutes-treat it like a workout!

When you apply it, think "less is more." Use the tip of the brush to dab a tiny amount into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. It's better to do three paper-thin layers than one big, gloppy mountain of paint. If you're working on a metallic shade, try to apply it in the shade so the paint doesn't dry before the sparkles have a chance to lay flat and catch the light.
