I got the paint code off the side of the door but where to buy these paint?

A lot of the older paint codes are no longer made. [anything older than '97 I told are near impossible to get if at all]

I've actually found a 'near match' colour that was almost dead on. Mine no longer is available from what I've been able to find out. [1992]

My local Toyota dealer, mixed, and gave me, yes, for free, 3L3 touch up paint for the 96. Try ur dealerships Body Shop!

all paint codes are made if you go to paint shops

look up CMAX in your phone book or call your local NAPA and ask them where their closest CMAX is. CMAX is NAPA's division of bodywork oriented supplies and they mix custom paint. You just give them your paint code and they mix it for you.

That's great to know, thanks!
Front bumper really needs a new paint job.
