Rav4 Touch Up Paint

[mange1304]

My 2013 RAV4 is light capuchino and I have been supplied with genuine Toyota paint by my dealer that is labeled as bronze mica met. and I have found that in use it is a lot darker than my car. I have queried this with them and they say it was ordered based on my reg and VIN so must be correct. I think they have made a mistake but can anyone enlighten me - are the two colours supposed to be the same even though they have different names?

Take no notice of the "name" of the colour on the packet, the thing to check is the paint "code" If you PM me your registration number I can give you the paint code and the correct part number for the paint you need

The paint code for both our Toyotas are on the plate in the passenger door ingo. I'm pretty sure it's at the bottom, and ours are a coding with numbers and letters, something like 3RE.

Thanks for the info. The plate on the passenger door frame shows code 4T3 which is the same as on the paint i have been provided with. Which is a shame as the colours are nowhere near the same. About as different as milky coffee and espresso.
