Paint code help - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #97088 5 posts Started by AJD114
So here's the thing - Anyone have info on 6TH Gen red color code?

I have been to many site about the code and sites for touch-up paint. They all show the name as either Super Red or Renaissance Red. I have done searches with just the code (3L2) and get the different names of the paint each site I go to.
You need 3L2, Renaissance Red.

The name of the paint doesn't matter. Toyota will call it one thing, the dealer will call it another, DuPont another, etc...

The paint code will be inside the driver's door, either in the jamb or on the door itself. There's a tag in there and the bottom left will say C/TR which stands for Color/Trim. The first code to the right of that will be the color.

Good ole Renaissance Red... When I had mine no one did touch up paint unless you had it custom mixed, they'd have Super Red II-V though...
