Where To Find Your Paint Code
For any Toyota, including the 2023 Highlander, the paint code is found on the driver's side door jamb. Open the driver's door and look for a black sticker on the B-pillar. This is the Manufacturer's Certification Label. The paint code is designated by "C/TR" which stands for Color/Trim. The three-character code following "C/TR" is your exterior paint code (e.g., 218).
Best Touch-up Paint Sources
- Dupli-Color: Offers a wide range of colors for many vehicle makes and models. Check their website or your local auto parts store for availability.
- AutomotiveTouchup: A popular online retailer that provides exact-match colors in various formats, including pens, bottles, and aerosol cans.
- T-Coat Custom Mix: Many local automotive paint suppliers can custom-mix your color and provide it in an aerosol can or touch-up bottle.
- Dealer: Your local Toyota dealership can provide you with a touch-up pen or bottle of the exact color for your vehicle.
How To Use Touch-Up Paint
- Clean: Thoroughly clean the area with soap and water, then use a wax and grease remover.
- Primer: Apply a thin layer of automotive primer to the bare metal or plastic. Allow it to dry completely.
- Base Coat: Apply thin, even coats of the base color, allowing each coat to dry before applying the next.
- Clear Coat: Once the base coat is dry, apply a clear coat to protect the paint and provide a glossy finish.
Color Matching Tips for Pearls and Tri-Coats
Pearl and tri-coat paints can be tricky to match. These paints have a base color and a mid-coat that contains pearl or metallic flakes. For a perfect match, it is essential to apply the base coat and then the mid-coat in the correct sequence. It is highly recommended to use a test card to ensure the color matches before applying it to the vehicle.
