Authentic Toyota 3R3 Barcelona Red Metallic Urethane Basecoat Paint – Iconic 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:
- Prep: Surface must be clean, sanded (400-600 grit), and primed. Use pre-paint cleaner.
- Mix (Unreduced only):1:1 basecoat to urethane reducer. Stir thoroughly.
- 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.
- Final Flash:20-45 min before 2K clearcoat (do not exceed 24 hrs without abrading).
- Clearcoat: Apply 2-3 coats of 2K clear (or use Gloss Touch Spray Can for small areas).
- 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.
