    Hey everyone. I got what I would call the sonic blue paint on my 2011 Prius. Does anyone know of a paint match for it? Preferably duplicolor brand? Any help would be great. Need to repaint new bumper.

    As far as I know, all vehicles have their paint code printed on the date of manufacture label in the driver's side door frame...

    correct. Mine is 8T5. I am looking for a duplicolor match or for a aftermarket match readily available in stores.

    At looked for it in Advance Auto several years ago. They didn't stock it, or show any evidence Duplicolor even makes it. I bought official Toyota touch-up 8T5 from an on-line dealer.
    Try a similar color for another brand vehicle?
