Toyota Paint Code: Where to Find It
Your Toyota paint code is a 3-character code, such as 040 or 1G3, printed after "C/TR" on a white sticker in the driver's door jamb. On HiLux, LandCruiser and HiAce it's usually on a plate in the engine bay instead. That code is all we need to mix your touch-up paint to Toyota's factory colour.
Where to find the paint code on your Toyota
| Model | Where to look |
|---|---|
| Corolla, Camry, Yaris, C-HR | White sticker on the driver's door jamb (B-pillar) |
| RAV4, Kluger | Driver's door jamb. Some older models also have a plate in the engine bay |
| Prius | Driver's door jamb |
| HiLux | Engine bay, on the firewall or the build plate near the bonnet catch. Newer models may also have a door jamb sticker |
| LandCruiser, Prado, HiAce | Engine bay, on the firewall or a plate near the bonnet catch |
Open the driver's door and look at the edge of the body where the door latches. If there's no sticker there, lift the bonnet and check the firewall, the back wall of the engine bay.
How to read a Toyota paint label
Look for C/TR, which stands for colour and trim. It's followed by two codes separated by a slash, for example C/TR 040/FB20.
- The first code (040) is the paint colour. This is the one we need.
- The second code (FB20) is the interior trim. You can ignore it.
Toyota paint codes are 3 characters, letters and numbers mixed, like 040, 1G3, 218 or 3T3. If yours looks different, send us a photo of the label.
On a HiLux, LandCruiser or HiAce, the label lists COLOR and TRIM as separate headings instead of C/TR. The paint code is the one under COLOR.
We've blurred the frame numbers (VIN) in these photos. You don't need to send us your VIN to order.

A colour can be called many different names. Silver 1D6, for example, is also sold as Silver Sky and Silver Pearl, and Glacier White is called Super White overseas. That's why we mix by the code, not the name.
Pearl and metallic Toyota colours
Pearl whites such as Frosted White (089) and Crystal Pearl (070) are built in layers at the factory. On a stone chip or small scratch, the shade matters most, so we mix these to match the shade of the finished colour. That gives a neat repair without the extra steps. If you choose the Professional Kit, we also supply the pearl layer.

Frequently asked questions
Can I find my Toyota paint code from the VIN?
Not directly. The VIN doesn't include the colour code. A Toyota dealer can look it up from your VIN, or you can use the label on the car.
Where is the paint code on a Toyota HiLux?
On most HiLux models it's in the engine bay, on the firewall or the build plate near the bonnet catch. Some newer HiLux models also have a sticker in the driver's door jamb.
What is Toyota's white paint code?
Toyota's most common white in Australia is Glacier White, code 040. Pearl whites include Frosted White (089) and Crystal Pearl (070). Check your label, as they look similar but need different paint.

Yes. Both names are used for code 1G3. Order by the code and you'll get the right colour.
