Smile camry colour help!

I found my camry's body colour code is '4M9', however, I can't buy this exact colour in many car shops. Can anyone tell me what is the meaning of that code? What is the least significant part of that combination? i.e. Should I buy '4M_' , '_M9' or '4_9' ?

Thanks!

Try an online website that makes the touch-up paint matched to your car color code.

eTouchup.com

After the application of the base color coat I would use Lanka to get it flat.

Langka

If you plan on using a clear coat use the Langka til the paint is below the exsisting clear coat. Then apply the clear coat. Make sure you have enough clear on the car so you can wet sand it down to the exsisting clear level. Then all you have to do is compound out the scratches and polish.

hey, that's the same color code of my camry- 4M9. DO you need touch up paint or alot of paint?

I know toyota dealers sell the 4M9 touch-up paint (looks like a small bottle of fingernail polish) for about $5.99.

but for more paint, try online paint sites...like what was said above. good luck
