Toyota Rav4 Touch Up Paint (48 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Toyota didn't just dip the RAV4 in a bucket of paint; they went on a decades-long artistic journey. With 63 recorded colors, they've given us everything from the utilitarian Super White 2 to the "adventure-ready" Lunar Rock and the vibrant Blue Flame Pearl. Whether you're driving a classic Barcelona Red Metallic or a modern Blueprint Pearl, Toyota clearly believes that a compact SUV should have as much personality as a sports car. They really went for it, offering everything from "50 shades of gray" (like Magnetic Gray and Silver Metallic) to deep, moody tones like Blackish Ageha Metallic.

What to Watch For

Before you start dabbing, you need to find your "North Star"-the paint code. On the RAV4, this is almost always on the driver's side door jamb. Open the door and look for a black or silver VIN sticker; you're looking for the letters "C/TR" (Color/Trim). The three characters following it (like 040, 1G3, or 070) are your golden ticket.

A quick reality check: if you own a RAV4 in Super White or Blizzard Pearl, keep a close eye on your roof and hood. These specific shades have a bit of a reputation for "wanting to leave the vehicle" (peeling) due to the way they were applied at the factory. Also, newer RAV4s tend to have a thinner, softer top layer, which means the hood is a magnet for tiny rock chips from highway driving. The good news? These are exactly the kinds of small battle scars a DIYer can fix in a weekend.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many RAV4 colors are "Pearls" or "Metallics" (like that beautiful Wind Chill Pearl Tricoat), matching the factory look requires patience. These paints have tiny mica or metal flakes that like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. If you don't shake that touch-up pen or bottle for a full 60 seconds, your repair will look dull.

When you apply the paint, think "thin layers." Instead of one big "blob" to fill a chip, use a tiny dab, let it dry for 15 minutes, and then add another. If you're working with a tri-coat (like Blizzard Pearl), the first layer provides the color, and the second adds the sparkle-don't rush the process, and your driveway repair will look like it was done by a pro who actually cares about your car.
