Finding Your Toyota Yaris 2020 Paint Code
Hello from Pinelaki! 👋
We all know the Toyota Yaris is a champion on the roads of Cyprus—reliable, economical, and stylish! But even the toughest little car can pick up a chip or a scratch from road debris or those tight parking spots in Limassol.
Here in Cyprus, the intense sun and high UV radiation are tough on car paint, which makes finding the exact color code crucial for any touch-up work. A tiny difference in shade becomes a big eyesore under our strong sunlight!
Luckily, Toyota keeps things straightforward.
Unveiling Your Yaris Colour Code’s Secret Hiding Spot
For your 2020 Toyota Yaris, you will find the paint code sticker in the same place Toyota puts it on most of their models:
- Open the Driver’s Door: In Cyprus, this is the door on the right-hand side of the car.
- Look at the Door Jamb: The door jamb is the vertical pillar where the door latches when it closes. You are looking for a small, white, black, or silver manufacturer sticker.
- Locate the Code: On this sticker, you will see a series of codes. The paint code is usually a three-digit combination of numbers and letters and is typically prefixed by “C/TR” (meaning Color/Trim).
For example, you might see a code that looks like this: C/TR: 1G3/FB13. In this case, the paint code you need to order your paint is 1G3, which is the popular Magnetic Gray Metallic. The other digits relate to the car’s interior trim and are not for the paint.
Why Matching the Code is Non-Negotiable
You might think “gray is gray,” but trust us, it’s not! That three-character code is your car’s unique fingerprint. When you’re tackling a scratch, especially on a metallic or pearl finish like the Yaris often has, using the wrong code will result in a noticeable patch. Our Pinelaki color matching experts use this code to mix your paint to the precise factory specification, ensuring a seamless, perfect repair. For example the code in the image above is 3R9.

Find the perfect match for your Toyota’s code and say goodbye to unsightly scratches!
Protecting Your Toyota Yaris Paint in the Cypriot Climate
The UV rays in Cyprus are a powerful force, and they will fade unprotected paint faster than you think. Keep that Yaris looking new with these quick Pinelaki tips:
- Waxing is Your Shield: Apply a high-quality wax or sealant regularly (at least every 3-4 months). It’s the best UV protection you can give your paint.
- The Power of Shade: Whenever you can, park in a garage or under a shaded spot. Reducing direct sun exposure is the single best way to prevent color fade and clear coat damage.
- Wash Off the Salt: If you’re near the sea or have driven through a dusty area, wash your car quickly. Salt and fine dust can act like sandpaper on your clear coat!
Don’t let those minor paint issues spoil the look of your reliable Toyota Yaris. Find your code, get the right paint from us, and enjoy your pristine drive across the island! 🚗✨
