Toyota Tundra Touch Up Paint (61 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Toyota has recorded 62 colors for the Tundra, and they've clearly had some fun with the names. We started with the classic "50 shades of truck" like Silver Metallic and Phantom Gray, but lately, Toyota really went for it. They moved from "sensible contractor" to "off-road adventurer" with colors like Lunar Rock, Solar Octane Pearl, and the appropriately named Mudbath. Whether you're driving a truck that looks like a battleship or a giant piece of citrus, there's a bottle of touch-up paint with your name on it.

What to Watch For

First things first: pop the driver's door and look at the jamb. You're looking for a sticker with a "C/TR" (Color/Trim) code. It's usually three digits, like 040 for white or 1G3 for gray. Now, for the reality check: if you own a Tundra in Super White or Blue Ribbon Metallic, you might notice the paint is a bit shy-it likes to peel or flake off in large chunks, especially on the hood or roof. Also, keep a close eye on the very bottom of your doors. Toyota often applies a thick, textured "rock guard" coating there that can hide tiny chips until they start to bubble. Catching those early with a quick dab of paint is the best way to keep your Tundra from becoming a "Rust-bucket Metallic."

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Tundra colors are pearls or heavy metallics (looking at you, Wind Chill Pearl and Barcelona Red), your touch-up bottle is basically a snow globe of tiny sparkles. Shake that bottle for at least 60 seconds-longer than you think you need to-to wake up the metallic flakes so they don't all sit at the bottom. When you apply it, remember: thin layers are your best friend. If you try to fill a deep chip with one giant "blob" of paint, it'll look like a zit on your truck's nose. Apply a tiny bit, let it dry for 20 minutes, and add another layer if you need to. It requires patience, but your Tundra will thank you for it.
