How do I Tell the Color Code on a Toyota Sienna?

The Toyota Sienna has been selling in the United States since 1997, and as of 2011 the Sienna is still Toyota's only minivan option. Some manufacturers hide the vehicle's paint code in odd spots throughout the vehicle or do not supply it at all without a call to a dealership. Toyota is different--the code is on the VIN (vehicle identification number) sticker on all Sienna models.

  • Open the driver's side door of the Sienna and look down at the door jamb to locate the VIN sticker.

  • Identify the VIN and bar code on the sticker. Just below it is a code starting with "C/TR".

  • Write down the three-digit paint code after "C/TR," which can consist of any combination of letters or numbers.

  • Go to the AutomotiveTouchUp website if you do not have a VIN sticker. Input the correct Toyota Sienna year and information in the drop down menu under "Search for Your Paint Color Now" menu. Locate the correct Sienna color from the results page and obtain your paint code.
