Paint Code Question

How can I figure out the paint code on my 2014 Tacoma. I'm going to buy a color-matched grill and I need to know which "black" I have.

 

Should be on the front doorjamb on the driver's side.

 

It will be in the door jamb of the truck. Looks like it is paint code 202 and here is your best deal on a color matched grill.

if you have a magnetic gray i know is 1G3

 

2012+ black is colour code 202. 2005 to 2011 was black sand pearl which was 209 I believe.

 

I do auto paint touch up for several dealers. The sticker inside the door jamb is right but toyota has about three different blacks right now. If you havent figured it out yet post a pic of the sticker and I can tell you real quick if you want.

 

Pretty sure they've only used 209 and 202 on the tacoma. Definitely consult the door jam though.

 

Trust me it is 202

Safe bet. Call your local toyota parts department with your vin#. They will give you the color code.

 

You can have "a" paint code or "one" paint code, but there be several different shades in that same color. What a painter will or would do, is get the code, then go and find in a color chip book the closest shade to use. You can also go to an auto body paint supplier and have them shoot your vehicle with a color identifying gun, it will allow them to mix the closest paint up for your truck, normally a body shop would only do that if they couldn't find a close enough shade under that paint code to mix for themselves.

Try that.


Edit: ^ beat me to it. I used them to match my pyrite and it came out perfect.

 

Glad to hear!! I ordered a pyrite pen from them a couple days ago.

 

2005-2011: black sand pearl, 209

2011+: onyx black, 202
