    A buddy of mine at work owns the same year, color model as my silver '09 Prius, Package 3 and asked me if know any body shops that would paint his fender. He's always looking to swap his car with mine given the number of dents he's got. But honestly, I don't know any body shops because I havent had the need to get this kind of work done.
    He wants to find out (and out of curiosity, so do I) which of the manufacturers provided the paint for the 2009 prius (classic silver metallic).
    Thanks,
    J

    no idea, but any body shoppe can get the correct paint and take care of it.

    The original paint manufacturer will be some Japanese supplier.

    I agree that is not relevant as any decent body shop will be able to match the factory color with the paint they source from their US paint suppliers.
