I went to Malz to get paint..they gave me 7 types of 040 to choose from..lols

YellowWhite..CreamWhite...SuperWhite..n alot of crazy stuff..

I suggest u go to autopaint shop n get it professionally mixed..its cheap here..SHOULD be cheaper over eastern states..

1 spray can should be around $25 bucks...1L of spraying paint is like $18 bucks..

They`ll mix the colour till it matches ur car... :) Give it a try..

Hope this helps

i had the same trouble... i too have that same white(040)...

the white that autobarn gave you is not the right colour.... if they read the book properly the 040 that they gave you is for toyota corolla's UP TO 2000... don't buy anything premixed from autobarn... i made the same mistake and cost me about $50 worth of different 'white' paint...

my susgestion is go to a automotive paint shop and get them to mix it up properly (they are not hard to find), and as someone said above theres a few toyota 040 white's, toyota change the colour slightly but kept the same code... :blink:

what you want is a 040 super white, for toyota's 2000 and UP. the colour is a pure white mixed with a slight touch of black only.. and it matched my car with no problems (2002 corolla sedan)

hope this helps

orite with autobarn n all those car shops that mixes paint...they wont " customize " it to fit ur car..its a universal formula..all u they can do is mix that colour out for u..the colour looks different because of the " tear and wear " of the paint of our car..hence the difference between the paint..

but if u go to an autopaint shop..they will mix it according to the formula..then compare it to ur car..n add stuff or whatever they do with it untill it becomes exactly the same..

True, like when you take badges or door strips off, the colour might be slightly different... After leaving mine in the sun for a while you can't really tell... But for eyelids and grille definitely better to get it mized right first time... Thanks for telling me this guys because I was thinking of DIY repainting my eyelids using autobarn paint :) we've used it before on the chassis rail of Leroy's car and it was great, but as you all know that is under the bonnet so it's not nearly as important as the outside, we didn't really need a "perfect" match

there are these kinda shops, they mix it in front of you, and make it into a spray can paint.. i paid like $50 for one of it and nearly enough whole back bumper(camry).. which i helped my poor frien out.. cheapest way to fix some paint rather than sending to proper shop which cost $200+

      2007 - floor mats

      Hi. I am just reposting this here from the Camry section just in case the broader community might be able to help. I have a 2007 Grande which is still in good nick, except for the drivers floor mat. Normally it wouldn't be a problem to replace the floor mat but because it has the word CAMRY embroidered into the floor mat, I would like to replace it with the same again. I'm feeling reasonably confident that a Toyota dealership would just laugh at a request for another factory one so my question is, is it even still possible to locate an embroidered floor mat for my 17 year old car? If so, where? Or is there a business that will replicate the original?

      Front parking sensors

      We have a 2021 VX Prado with Toyota bullbar that is the doing same thing, the dealer did a patch under warranty which made no difference. The dealer now says they fixed it under warranty (by doing the patch) and there is nothing else they can do so if we want them to keep looking at it we will be paying for it. That is not our understanding of how warranty works and will be taking this matter further.

      Cruise Control Not Engaging

      Hi. My 2008 Rav 4 cruise control has not worked since I’ve owned it. When the on button on the stalk is pressed nothing happens, not green cruise dash light or anything. Previously, I’ve had a problem when the ABS, VSC and parking brake light all turned on but that was fixed by a brake light switch replacement. But the cruise still does not work. I’ve checked all the fuses and all are good. Is this a common issue and does anyone know why it’s happening. thanks

      Toyota Corolla 2012 zre152 4 speed automatransmission issue

      Hi Gary, I would suspect a clutch problem, like not fully disengaging. Maybe you aren't fully pushing it to the floor, or the system needs topping up or bleeding or both. Herb

      Toyota Corolla 2012 zre152 4 speed automatransmission issue

      Hi Toyota owners, I'm new to this forum registration. I need some advice or help as I have a shifting issue with my 2012 4 speed automatic transmission. It doesn't do it all the time but the gears don't shift smoothly specially 3 to 4 gear it just bangs in when I'm cruising and it happens more often when hot. Got full transmission serviced with Toyota genuine parts no metal shavings in pan. Changed ATF 3 times. Full major service done, 100000 KLM on car. Full synthetic oil with 98 Ron fuel. Throttle body cleaned twice. Maf sensor cleaned. New spark plugs. No engine codes. Great loss of power sometimes specially on hot days. Please help as no mechanic knows what the issue is. Thanks in advance.
