Toyota bZ4X Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Toyota's all-electric bZ4X doesn't just have a mouthful of a name; it also sports a solid lineup of 11 recorded colors. They really went for it with the modern-meets-classic vibe, offering everything from the deep, moody Nautical Blue Metallic to the crisp, multi-layered Wind Chill Pearl Tricoat. You'll also notice a lot of two-tone options (like that sleek Precious Metal with a Black roof). If you're staring at a "Two-Tone" code on your order, don't worry-that just means your car is wearing a tuxedo, and you'll need to make sure you're matching the right panel to the right bottle.
What to Watch For
Here is the honest truth: the bZ4X has what some call "polite" paint. It's a bit soft, and owners have noticed that the hood and front fenders are absolute magnets for tiny stone chips. If you've got a darker shade like Black or Nautical Blue, you might see those little white "nicks" showing up sooner than you'd like. Before you start, find your "Birth Certificate"-the paint code. It's located on the driver's side door jamb on a silver or black sticker. Look for the "C/TR" (Color/Trim) line; the first three digits are usually your winner.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since many of these colors-especially Wind Chill Pearl and Bright Red-are "Tricoats," they have a lot of personality in the form of sparkles and depth. To get that factory glow, shake your touch-up bottle for a full 60 seconds like you're making a high-end cocktail. This wakes up the metallic flakes so they don't just sit at the bottom of the jar. When applying, think "thin and patient." It's much better to dab on three paper-thin layers than one big "glop" that looks like a grape on your hood. Give each layer a few minutes to dry, and your bZ4X will be back to looking electric in no time.
