Authentic Toyota 3R3 Barcelona Red Metallic Urethane Basecoat PaintIconic Bold Red Color!

Bring back that stunning Barcelona Red Metallic (OEM paint code 3R3) – the vibrant, pearl/metallic red that defines countless Toyota models like the RAV4, Camry, Corolla, Tacoma, 4Runner, Tundra, and more! This premium urethane basecoat delivers rich depth, excellent pearl effect with dramatic flip-flop shimmer, and strong UV resistance for a show-quality finish that lasts.

Key Features & Technical Data:

  • Exact OEM color match to factory 3R3 (also known as Barcelona Red Pearl, Barcelona Red Mica, or Barcelona Red Metallic)
  • High-quality automotive urethane basecoat – sprays smooth, great coverage (typically 2-3 medium coats for full opacity; formulated as a high-performance pearl/metallic basecoat match)
  • Pearl/metallic flakes for signature vibrant pop and deep color-shift under sunlight
  • Requires 2K clearcoat (not included unless kit or spray can selected) for maximum gloss, durability, and UV protection
  • Premium formulation backed by extensive color-matching data for superior accuracy
  • Mix Ratio (Unreduced):1:1 basecoat to urethane reducer (by volume; use medium/fast reducer based on temp/humidity)
  • Viscosity (Ready to Spray): Typically 13-15 seconds #4 Zahn cup (pre-thinned for easy spraying)
  • Coverage: Approx. 250-300 sq ft per gallon (ready-to-spray) at 0.4-0.8 mil dry film thickness – excellent hiding power
  • Flash Times:5-10 minutes between coats; 20-45 minutes before clearcoat (at 70°F; adjust for conditions)
  • Pot Life: Indefinite if unreduced and sealed; reduced material ~2-4 hours
  • Dry Film Thickness Recommended:0.4-0.8 mil per coat (total 1-2 mil basecoat)

Unreduced vs. Ready to Spray – What's the Difference?

  • Ready to Spray (RTS): Pre-reduced right in the can – just shake/stir and spray! No extra mixing needed. Convenient for quick jobs, but less concentrated paint volume (total sprayable amount = what you buy).
  • Unreduced:Concentrated basecoat – you mix it yourself (typically 1:1 with reducer). More actual paint solids per container, better yield, and maximum flexibility for custom thinning. Ideal for maximum coverage or your own reducer setup.

Concise Application Instructions:

  1. Prep: Surface must be clean, sanded (400-600 grit), and primed. Use pre-paint cleaner.
  2. Mix (Unreduced only):1:1 basecoat to urethane reducer. Stir thoroughly.
  3. Spray: Apply 2-3 medium wet coats with 50% overlap. Flash 5-10 min between coats (at 70°F). HVLP gun: 30-50 PSI (gravity feed) or 10-15 PSI cap pressure.
  4. Final Flash:20-45 min before 2K clearcoat (do not exceed 24 hrs without abrading).
  5. Clearcoat: Apply 2-3 coats of 2K clear (or use Gloss Touch Spray Can for small areas).
  6. Safety: Wear proper PPE (respirator, gloves, suit). Ensure good ventilation. Test spray small panel first.

Important Application Notes:

  • Basecoat only (unless kit or Gloss Touch Spray Can selected) – topcoat with quality clear required
  • Always test-spray a small area first – color can vary slightly due to lighting, primer, technique, or age
  • Use proper PPE, ventilation, and equipment (professional use recommended for gun-applied options)
  • Automotive refinishing product – not for household/DIY non-auto use

This is the real-deal Barcelona Red Metallic that Toyota fans crave – don't settle for close-enough shades! Whether reviving a classic or adding flair to a modern RAV4, Tacoma, Camry, or Supra, this color will make your ride stand out.
