COLOR CODE1F7 - Silver MetallicScion Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This is the workhorse of the lineup. Known officially as Classic Silver, this shade gave the boxy xB its industrial, high-tech edge and the sporty tC a sleek, futuristic vibe. It was the most popular choice for a reason: it is incredibly forgiving. Because it is a neutral, bright silver, it hides road salt, dust, and light scratches better than almost any other color on the road. Since your Scion has likely been through many years of daily driving, you will find that this color holds its original character well, even as the clearcoat ages.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, not a solid or a pearl. That means the paint is packed with tiny aluminum flakes that need to lay perfectly flat to catch the light correctly. The biggest risk here is mottling-which looks like dark, cloudy patches or stripes in the finish. This happens if the paint is applied too heavily in one spot, causing the flakes to "drown" and clump together. To keep the finish looking uniform, you must apply light, even layers rather than one thick coat.

Best Practices

You can find your color code on the identification sticker located on the driver's side door jamb, usually listed next to the "C/TR" heading. Before you spray or dab Scion Silver Metallic (check for code 1F7), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure those metallic flakes are fully suspended. Test the color on the included card to verify the shade before you touch the car. To prevent the flakes from clumping, keep the container moving at all times during application. Always work in a garage or the shade to ensure the drying time is consistent and the metal surface isn't too hot to the touch.
