Red Paint Codes

[sproutdreamer]

I need to do a bit of paintwork on the bottom of a rear door. It is a Red 2004 t spirit - how do I best ascertain the correct paint code colour of spray paint to order. Also what colour of primer to use, if it matters?

May be on one of the vehicle identification plates under CLR/TRM (colour/trim) - possibly in the engine bay.

Thanks for that frosty..In the engine bay 3P0 - Cherry Red. Do you know if there is a clear lacquer over the Yaris paint finishes?

[FROSTYBALLS]

Would have thought so. I know the red used on the Auris of the same era had some lacquer issues experienced by some owners. Different red to the Yaris and as far as I know, the Yaris wasn't affected.

3P0 comes back as a Base coat that requires a clear over the top, due to the age you really need to get it colour matched

It is an old car, I just want it to look ok not pristine, thanks.
