Blizzard Pearl color code

Actually its "070". Lexus cars also use the same color and code.

 

I don't know what is behind the VIN, but there is no doubt that the paint code for the Blizzard Pearl is 070.

 

Yes, the color code for Blizzard Pearl / White Pearl Crystal Shine / White Pearl is 070.

On the Gen II Prius, the color code was on the driver door. I think it is also on the driver door of the Gen III Prius.

 

In Belgium code colors are :
Pure white = 040
Pearl white = 070
Satin Silver = 1F7
Astral black = 202
Barcelona red = 3R3
Dark blue = 8T5
Blue grey = 8V1
That means that the first digit is the main code of the color and the following ones are the nuance.
My Prius III (Luna) is 8V1, its looks more grey than blue but nevertheless some see it more blue.

 

I got my first small scratch in my bumper on my 2010 blizzard pearl Prius. The scratch went all the way down to the black plastic of the bumper. I went to the dealer to get some touch-up paint and they told me to use 070 color. When I got home, I tested the 070 on a piece of black plastic. The black still showed through, even after I put on two coats. Then when I looked inside the door, I saw that the car was first painted white and then the blizzard pearl is on top of the white. Inside the door you can see the white paint but no blizzard pearl coating. So what I did was purchase a touch-up bottle of 040 color and put on 2 coats of white first. When that dried, I put 2 coats of blizzard pearl over the white. It looks really good. I would say that if you have a scratch only on the surface and the white has not been scratched off, just use the blizzard pearl. If the scratch is deep enough and the white is gone use the 040 and then the 070 after. I explained this to the dealer but he said that the parts book did not have any note about using both paints.

 

I had a totally different experience. I asked my salesman for the 070 touch up paint and he explained to me that it would probably not do me that much good as I needed to put white under it. He got me the exact same combination...a container of 040 and a container of 070. I haven't used it yet, but I am glad to hear of your experience. Thanks.

 

I was told the same thing but only got the 070. When using it to touch-up tiny black chipped areas it works only so-so. Thus the above advice is probably sound.

 

Lexus Crystal White is available both as 062 (top coat) and 062-BC (base coat). You apply the base coat first, then top it with 062. Interesting they didn't have a 070-BC.
