Hey guys, paintscratch.com is NOT that accurate as you get back in the years. I learned this after I had already created some of the charts from their data. I mean, look at the chart. Why would Toyota make seven blues in a single year, something is NOT right with that picture!

A friend brought her Celica by today... it was a blue 92 and it was 8G6, which means that some of those other colors have to be wrong. I am making some changes to the chart now to get rid of some extras.

Use the dropdowns to select manufacturer and year and it'll show you scans from a book of automotive paint chips, including the colour codes. Really handy.[/B]

It is a great site if you have a color code that you want to reference, but unfortunately for 99% of the colors it does not tell you which model the color was available on.

By the way, the URL for the page has changed to:
www.toyotareference.com

Bummer, without knowing the year of your car I can't fix the chart.

Also, now I'm looking for Celica brochures that can be scanned and archived on the site. If anyone has one laying around from ANY year please give me a shout!

I need a year and a color code in order to add anything to the chart. The fact that silverspeed spelled the word "colour" tells me that he probably isn't in the US, and my charts are only for the US-market right now.

The US brochures don't show the availability of gold, but in 1992 they do show Almond Beige Pearl. I don't have a photo of that one yet, so it might look goldish?

Just added another commercial, this time from 1991.

The important thing is that you match the paint code. Your paint code should be 3E5 (you can check on the production label in your door jamb) so make sure you use 3E5 touchup paint.

I'm still searching for an Almond Beige Pearl 1992 Celica photo. I can't seem to locate one.

I found this on Craigslist... best photo I could find. It MIGHT be ABP. Hard to tell:

Just added the fourth 1991 commercial to the archive.
