The colour code is mandatory for a Toyota colour : where to find it on your vehicle ?
On TOYOTA vehicles, the colour-coded plate (vinplate) can be found in four different places.
- Inside the engine bay.
- Between the two doors on the right side (passenger side).
- Between the two doors on the left side (driver's side).
- On the front left door (driver's side)
You can use the images provided below to illustrate the location.
The colour code of a TOYOTA paint is always composed of three characters (letters or numbers)

PREPARE THE BASE WELL :
It is not always necessary to apply a primer. Often a simple light sanding of the old paint is sufficient (800 paper), to allow adhesion.
Dry all moisture well, degrease with our degreaser, (to avoid reactions due to invisible contaminants), remove all traces of degreaser with a clean and dry cloth, then pick up the dust with our sticky wiping pad. 

PRIMER :
It is recommended to apply a car body primer only in certain cases :

- When the old paint is damaged and scratched 
- For certain factory colours (« 3-coat » colours), which need to be painted over a coloured primer of a particular GREY because they are pearlescent or semi-transparent. For peace of mind and to ensure even and faster coverage, use our Stardust FAST no-sanding primer (available in various shades of grey). For badly damaged or puttyed backgrounds, apply our sanding filler primer
- For those three-coat colours that require this additional undercoat, our technician will contact you to suggest the correct shade for the first coat

MIXING :
For pure paints, add about 70% of the thinner supplied with the kit (70 parts in addition to the 10 parts of paint)
For thinned paints 250 or 500 ml, simply stir.

APPLICATION :
Solvent-based 1K basecoats are particularly easy to apply : they can be applied with all types of spray guns, using thin coats (approx. 1.0 to 1.4 mm)
The thinner they are, the faster they dry, and therefore the shorter the time between coats : at 20°C the coats are applied almost in a row, while at cold temperatures you wait 5 minutes. It is recommended to paint between 15 and 30°C
Professional application method recommended :
- One very thin coat (to see any defects)
- one (or two) coat(s) with an interval of 5 min
- For pearlescent/metallic : finish with half a coat with less pressure and a little more distance from the substrate

TOPCOAT :
Varnish after 15 minutes, with any of our bodywork topcoats
There is no need to wait to paint, because after 30 minutes, adhesion is theoretically no longer possible.
Amongst our wide range of car paints, we offer BS 830 UHS, a high quality, reliable and easy to apply, durable and resistant paint.

*Superior quality
The Toyota colours produced by Stardustcolors are obtained with superior quality resins and pigments allowing for greater resistance, better coverage, and easier application.

*Definition : 1K basecoat
These paints are also called « 2-coat » because they work in 2 coats : 1K basecoat + topcoat. Once varnished, they are perfectly resistant to bad weather conditions (heat, cold, sun, rain)
