Toyota Revo Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Toyota kept things focused and classic with the Revo, giving us 1 primary recorded color: the deep and sophisticated Dark Blue. While some manufacturers try to overwhelm you with a rainbow, the Revo sticks to a shade that looks just as good covered in mud as it does under the city lights.
What to Watch For
To get your repair started, open the driver's door and look at the VIN sticker on the door jamb. You're looking for the letters "C/TR"-the three digits following that are your golden ticket to a perfect match. In terms of wear, Toyota clear coats are known for being a bit "sun-shy." Keep a close eye on the flat surfaces like the hood and the roof; the paint there tends to take the brunt of the UV rays and can start to look cloudy or begin peeling if chips are left open to the elements. Catching those little "pockmarks" early is the best way to keep your Revo looking fresh.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since Dark Blue is a deeper shade, it's a bit of a tattletale-it shows every thick "blob" if you get too aggressive with the brush. The secret is to use the "layered approach." Instead of trying to fill the whole chip in one go, dab a tiny amount of paint into the center of the spot and let it settle. Wait about 15 to 20 minutes for it to dry, then add another thin layer if needed. Staying patient ensures the repair sits flush with the rest of the body rather than looking like a tiny blue mountain on your fender.
