Default Where to get Scion touchup paint in a can

I'm going to be painting some pieces to match the exterior color of my box.

Anyone know where I can get Toyota paint code 576 "solar yellow" in a spray can?

Many thanks!

I highly doubt that you would be able to find that paint in a can ready to spray. Best bet is to either find a similar paint in a can or use that code and go to a car paint supplier and get a quart of the paint which i believe is most likely PPG and then get some clear. You can buy a cheap spray gun somewhere for around $50. Ask the employees of the business you choose for advise on which primer the would recomend depending on the material you spraying. The thing about this is that it is a lot more expensive, but once you buy it, you can allways use the gun, leftover paint, clear, and primer for other things in the future.

nope, well not at the 4 closest dealers in my area

just called a few dealers and they said that solar yellow color is unavailable in a touchup tube let alone a can. had to get my touchup paint tube online.

You can find it here. http://www.levineautoparts.com/spraycanofto.html

You can also find it here.

I have used levineautoparts in the past for my lava. The color was real close. If you painting small parts inside your car its perfect. If you trying to paint parts on the outside the color is slightly off. And I do mean slightly.

Default Touch up paint for 576 solar yellow

Hello All

When I had my wheels installed, I scraped my door on new day old RS2.0 XB. I could not beleive it. Anyway, I called my salesman and he ordered the touchup paint for me. P/N 00258-00576. This is a very small container.

Maybe this will help.

By the way, it covered my little Boo-Boo up nicely.

the paint has to match perfect as the paint are for exterior pieces to sit flush with other panels but looks like a good start.
