Where to Find the Paint Code on a Toyota

Toyota vehicles have 1 known paint code location.

Most Common

Driver's Side Door Jamb

Open the driver's door and look for a sticker on the door frame. The paint code follows the 'C/TR' (Color/Trim) marking on the label.

Only the first 3 characters after C/TR are the paint code — the rest is the trim code. For example, in 'C/TR 3P1 FA09', the paint code is '3P1'.
