2017 Toyota Tundra Paint Color Codes

Quick reference

Where to find your paint code

For most 2017 Toyota Tundra trucks, you'll find the paint code sticker on the driver's side door jamb. Open the driver's door and look for a label or sticker typically located on the B-pillar (the vertical pillar between the front and rear doors when the door is closed) or on the edge of the driver's side door itself. The paint code will be a short, alphanumeric code, usually three characters long, and will be listed under "C/TR" (Color/Trim). If you have trouble locating it, your owner's manual will often have a diagram showing the exact location of this information, or you can contact a Toyota dealership with your VIN.
