Scion xB Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
The Scion xB is basically a very stylish toaster on wheels, and Toyota clearly decided that if you're going to drive a box, it might as well be a colorful one. We've recorded 31 colors for this legend, and the designers really went for it. Whether you're rocking the fiery Hot Lava, the deep Murasaki Metallic, or the punchy Voodoo Blue, these colors were built to stand out in a parking lot full of boring sedans.
What to Watch For
Before you start dabbing, you need to find your "birth certificate." Open your driver's door and look at the jamb for a sticker with a barcode; your paint code is a 3-digit combo listed right after the "C/TR" (Color/Trim) label. Now, a quick heads-up: because of that flat, upright front end, the xB tends to catch rock chips like a professional catcher's mitt. You'll also want to keep an eye on the roof and the "Super White" panels, as the paint here can sometimes get a little shy and start to peel or fade if it spends too much time in the sun.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since Scion loved their metallic and pearl finishes-like Black Sand Pearl or Silver Ignition-your secret weapon is the shake. Shake that touch-up bottle for at least 60 seconds (set a timer!) to wake up the tiny metallic flakes that settled at the bottom. When you apply the paint, think "thin layers." If you try to fill a deep chip with one big blob, it'll look like a tiny mountain on your hood. Apply a light layer, let it dry for 15 minutes, and repeat. Getting those sparkles to sit just right requires patience, but your toaster will thank you.
