Quick reference

Where to find your paint code

For most Toyota Camry models, including the 2019 model year, you'll find the paint code on a sticker located on the driver's side door jamb. Open the driver's door and look for a label often white or silver, usually near the latch or on the B-pillar (the post between the front and rear doors). The paint code is typically a three-character alphanumeric code, often preceded by "C/TR" or "COLOR". It might be listed alongside other vehicle information like the VIN.

If you have trouble locating it, refer to your owner's manual for a diagram, or provide your VIN to any Toyota dealership parts department or a reputable automotive paint supplier, and they will be able to tell you your exact paint code.

Best touch-up paint sources

• Dupli-Color: A widely available brand that offers touch-up pens, bottles, and spray cans. You can often find Dupli-Color products at auto parts stores like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, and O'Reilly Auto Parts.
• AutomotiveTouchup: This online retailer specializes in custom-mixed touch-up paints, ensuring an exact match to your vehicle's factory color. They offer a variety of application options, including pens, bottles with brushes, and aerosol cans.
• Tcoat Custom-Mix: Some local automotive paint shops or online retailers like Tcoat offer custom-mixed paint based on your specific code. This can be a good option for a more precise match, especially for older or more unique colors.
• Dealership: Your local Toyota dealership parts department can also supply genuine OEM touch-up paint, which will guarantee the exact factory color match.

How to use touch-up paint

1. Clean the area: Thoroughly clean the scratched or chipped area with soap and water, then dry it completely. You can use rubbing alcohol to remove any wax or polish residue.
2. Apply primer (if needed): For deep scratches that go down to the bare metal, apply a thin layer of primer. Allow it to dry completely according to the product instructions.
3. Apply base coat: Apply thin, even coats of your touch-up paint. Allow each coat to dry for the recommended time before applying the next. Build up the paint gradually until it's level with the surrounding surface.
4. Apply clear coat: Once the base coat is dry, apply a clear coat to protect the paint and give it a glossy finish. Again, apply in thin layers and allow adequate drying time.

Color matching tips for pearls and tri-coats

Pearl and tri-coat paints, like Ruby Flare Pearl or Wind Chill Pearl, have multiple layers to achieve their unique depth and shimmer. Achieving a perfect match with touch-up paint for these colors can be more challenging. It's crucial to apply these paints in very thin layers and to allow ample drying time between coats to allow the pearl particles to lay correctly. Sometimes, applying several extremely thin coats (instead of fewer thicker ones) can help mimic the factory finish better. For larger repairs involving these complex colors, professional body shop work is often recommended to ensure an invisible repair.
