Factory paint codes

2015 Toyota Tacoma

8 factory colors were offered on the 2nd generation Tacoma. Your code is on the driver's door jamb sticker on the line marked C/TR — the characters before the slash.

8 colors 4 finishes: Tri-coat, Solid, Metallic, Mica 2nd generation (2005–2015)

This is the earliest model year currently in our database for the Tacoma, so there is no prior year to compare against.

Verified against 4 independent sources: Toyota USA Newsroom — 2015 Tacoma product news release (pressroom.toyota.com/2015-toyota-tacoma-product-news-release/); ImportArchive Tacoma 2005–2015 per-code year ranges (importarchive.com/toyota/tacoma/2005-2015); PaintRef 2015 Toyota Tacoma cross-reference — returns these eight codes and no others; CarsDirect 2015 Tacoma colors — independently lists the identical eight names.

Final model year of the 2nd generation. Inferno (4X0) was new for 2015 and TRD Pro only; the other seven carried over.

Where to find your paint code

Driver's door jamb (B-pillar), on the white or silver build sticker, on the row labelled C/TR.

Driver's door jamb

  1. Open the driver's door and look at the B-pillar at roughly latch height.
  2. Find the row labelled C/TR on the printed sticker.
  3. The three characters before the slash are the paint code.
  4. The characters after the slash are the interior trim code, not paint.

If the sticker is missing or faded

  • Call any Toyota dealer parts desk with your VIN. They can read the code off the build record, usually in under a minute and at no cost.
  • Genuine Toyota touch-up part numbers embed the paint code — part 00258-004X0-21 is code 4X0.

Other Tacoma years

Color availability changed year to year. Codes often carried over; names sometimes did not.
