touch up paint

[Bruster]

just wondering if you guys have been able to source touch up paint for your late model Rav4?

i went to toyota, auto1, supercheap and could not find anyone who supplies paint for Rav4 07 /08.

seems impossible and suprising toyota dont have this available.

apparently imported models are not supplied with touch up paint.

i'll keep searching.

There's a can in my '08 glovebox...

Wonder why u didn't get one?

Yeah I got my with the car as well. And I only got mine a few months ago. From my understanding all RAV4's are fully imported from Japan. You should ask your dealer.

now im confused, i'll contact my dealer on my monday.

yesterday i just went to the local Toyota dealer which is not the dealer i bought the from.

i just want to touch up the sccratch caused from the attempted theft of the rear wheel but seems to be impossible.

i guess i'll see on monday what my dealer says.

My Rav4- ZR6 which sounds like the identical vintage as your's (Nov 2007) came with a can of touch-up paint straight from the show-room. Definitely take this up with your Dealer.

well chased up the dealer i bought the car from and apparently they must've misplaced the touch up paint bottle and apologised.

the bad news is that according to the dealer and Toyota HQ (contacted them) they dont provide touch up paint for imported models, only aussie built cars such as camry and aurion will be able to provide touch up paint bottles.

so if you received a bottle of paint dont lose it because toyota wont be able to provide you a new one.

The only other way i found was through Autobarn they can provide you with touch up paint provided you have the paint code for your model and they can mix it inhouse for $25.00 per bottle.

cant believe what you have to go through for such a simple thing.
