Touch up paint availability

[Boagie]

Hi All, I have just purchased an 2011 Vellfire in pearl white. Does any one know if you can order some aerosols on line anywhere

or can you get this paint from Toyota.

 

Thanks again.

AEROSOLS difficult to find, I get my local auto paint trade specialist to make up the colour and supplied in a small paint tin I use fine artist brush to touch up people forget the Alphards and Vellfire were never exported to Europe so colours made up by non-professionals can differ significantly.

I was under the impression that the 042 colour is a standard Toyota colour.

 

Check with a main dealer.

 

As aerosols are a pressurised product, shipping through normal postal channels can be problematic.

Hi 

I’ve got an alphard 2008 in Pearl white it’s the touch up paint original Toyota paint code which is on the passenger side plate code for Pearl white is 070 I’m in Perth Australia but a Toyota dealer in the Uk should be able to supply it once you give them the paint code I’m not sure about aerosol though hope this helps.

I was wondering if my local paint store would be able to recognise the vin code on the van or is there a paint code stamped somewhere on it, most cars usually have. It's just they might not be able to match the code with it being an import. Thanks Skippy I may try the local Dealer first.

The paint code is on the VIN.

Suggest you buy from Toyota; not have it made up.
