Toyota Mirai Touch Up Paint (76 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Toyota didn't hold back with the Mirai, recording a staggering 36 colors for a car that's already making a statement by running on hydrogen. It's a wild mix of the sensible and the "Space Age." You've got your classic Super White 2 and Magnetic Gray Metallic for the low-profile look, but then they really went for it with shades like Hydro Blue Tricoat and Elemental Silver. Whether yours is a "50 shades of grey" edition or a vibrant Bright Red Tricoat, there is a lot of sophisticated pigment packed into those panels.

What to Watch For

While the technology under the hood is futuristic, the paint can be a little old-school-specifically, it tends to be "soft." This means your Mirai might pick up road chips more easily than a heavy-duty truck would. If you are driving one of the white variants like Blizzard Pearl or Super White, keep a close eye on the edges of the hood and roof; these specific formulas have been known to get a little "shy" and peel if the sun beats down on them for too many years.

Before you start, you need the secret handshake: the paint code. Open your driver's side door and look at the VIN sticker on the jamb. You're looking for a three-character code next to "C/TR" (like 070 or 8Y7). That code is your North Star.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Mirai colors-like Precious White or Blue Pearl-are Tricoats, your touch-up bottle is essentially a tiny, expensive snow globe. The "sparkles" (mica and metallic flakes) like to settle at the bottom. Shake that bottle for at least 60 seconds longer than you think is necessary to wake up the finish.

When you're ready to apply, remember: you aren't "painting" as much as you are "filling." Use the tip of your applicator to drop a tiny bead of paint into the center of the chip and let it spread out naturally. These complex colors require patience, so do two or three paper-thin layers rather than one big gloopy drop. It'll look much flatter and catch the light exactly the way Toyota intended.
