Toyota Yaris iA Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Toyota really decided to keep things interesting with the Yaris iA, offering a palette of 25 recorded colors that range from the minimalist Super White 2 to the more adventurous Icicle and Sapphire. This car is a bit of a polyglot-it's a Toyota badge on a Mazda frame-and the paint reflects that "best of both worlds" energy. Whether you're rocking the deep Abyss Pearl or the eye-catching Pulse Red, you've got a car that was clearly designed to punch above its weight class in the style department.
What to Watch For
Now, let's talk shop. The Yaris iA is known for having a "lean" factory finish. While it looks great on the showroom floor, owners often find the paint is a bit thin, making it a magnet for small rock chips on the hood and front bumper. If those chips are left alone, they can invite the clear coat to start lifting or peeling, especially around the edges of the hood. To find your exact match, open your driver's door and look at the jamb (the frame where the door latches). You're looking for a sticker with a "C/TR" code. Because this car has some Mazda DNA, your code might look like three characters-sometimes a mix of numbers and letters like 42M or 1G3.
Driveway Repair Tip
When you're standing there with your touch-up bottle, remember: patience is your best tool. Since many of these colors, like Blizzard Pearl Tricoat, use multi-stage finishes, you need to wake up those metallic flakes. Shake your bottle for a full 60 seconds (set a timer, your arm will thank you for the mini-workout). Instead of trying to fill a chip with one big glob, use the "drip and wait" method. Place a tiny drop in the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. If it's still a little shallow once it dries, just add another light layer. It's much easier to build up the paint than it is to deal with a messy run down your fender!
