How WestNet Paint Enamel Matches Toyota OEM Codes
WestNet One Stop Shop Paint Enamel is a 3-in-1 alkyd enamel formula that combines paint, enamel finish, and rust protection in one can—priced at just $19.99. Each color in the WestNet line is formulated to match specific Toyota OEM color codes, making it the ideal choice for MK3 Supra owners who want factory-accurate color without the expense of custom-mixed automotive paint.
What Makes WestNet Paint Enamel Ideal for the MK3 Supra?
- 3-in-1 Formula: Paint + enamel finish + rust protection eliminates the need for separate primer, paint, and clear coat for touch-ups.
- Toyota OEM Match: Colors like Bright Red (matching 3E5), Gloss White (matching 040), and Gloss Black (matching 202) are formulated to the factory specification.
- Built-in Rust Protection: Critical for A70 Supras, which are 30+ years old and often have rust in wheel wells, rocker panels, and the hatch area.
- Alkyd Enamel Durability: Provides a hard, chemical-resistant finish that withstands UV exposure, road salt, and daily driving.
Step-by-Step Touch-Up Guide for the MK3 Supra
1. Identify Your Paint Code
Locate the paint code on the manufacturer plate in the driver-side door jamb. Common A70 codes: 040 (Super White), 3E5 (Super Red), 202 (Black), 1G3 (Magnetic Gray), 1F7 (Silver Sky Metallic).
2. Prepare the Surface
- Wash the area thoroughly with automotive soap and water. Let it dry completely.
- For chips, sand the edges lightly with 800-grit wet sandpaper to feather the border.
- For rust spots, remove loose rust with 220-grit sandpaper, then clean with a degreaser.
- Mask surrounding areas with automotive masking tape and paper.
3. Apply WestNet One Stop Shop Paint Enamel
- Shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes after the mixing ball rattles.
- Hold the can 10–12 inches from the surface. Apply a light, even first coat.
- Wait 5–10 minutes between coats. Apply 2–3 thin coats for full coverage.
- Because WestNet Paint Enamel includes enamel finish and rust protection, no separate primer or top coat is required for touch-ups.
4. Finish and Cure
- Remove masking tape before the final coat is fully dry to prevent peeling at edges.
- Allow 24 hours for the enamel to cure at room temperature.
- For a showroom finish, wet-sand with 2000-grit after curing and polish with rubbing compound.
- Apply WestNet Crystal Clear over the area for additional UV protection and gloss.
Pro Tip: For large panels, work in horizontal passes with 50% overlap to avoid runs. Temperature between 15–30°C and low humidity give the best results.

Can I use WestNet Paint Enamel on bare metal?

A full exterior respray of an MK3 Supra typically requires 8–12 cans depending on the number of coats and technique. For individual panels (door, fender, bumper), 2–3 cans is usually sufficient. At $19.99 per can, a complete respray can be done for under $250.
