Toyota touch-up paint pen Predawn Grey Mica (1H1) — factory-matched repair pen with brush applicator

Toyota Genuine 00258-001H1-21 Predawn Grey Mica touch-up paint is a factory-matched pen with applicator brush and agitator ball designed to repair small scratches and chips on Toyota vehicles.

Keep painted panels looking consistent after minor damage with this OEM touch-up solution. Formulated to match Toyota's Predawn Grey Mica (code 1H1), the bottle includes a built-in brush applicator for precise coverage and an internal mixing ball to ensure pigment uniformity. It’s intended for small surface blemishes where a full respray isn’t necessary, helping maintain appearance and reduce the risk of corrosion at the damaged spot.

How does this pen restore small chips without professional tools?

The compact bottle and integrated brush let you apply paint directly into chips and fine scratches with controlled strokes. The internal agitator ball mixes pigment and binder for consistent color and gloss before application. Use light layers, allowing each to dry, to build coverage that blends with surrounding paint.

• Factory-matched Predawn Grey Mica (1H1) color
• Built-in applicator brush for precise placement
• Agitator ball ensures even mixing and finish
• Smooth flow designed for small-scale touch-ups

What surface prep and technique give the best results?

Good results start with clean, dry surfaces: remove dirt, wax, and loose paint, then lightly sand rough edges if needed. Apply in thin coats, allowing adequate drying time between passes; overfilling a chip can make blending harder. Finish with light polishing once fully cured to even out sheen with the surrounding panel.

• Clean area with mild detergent and degreaser
• Remove rust and loose flakes, sand edges lightly
• Apply thin, multiple coats for better blending
• Optional light polish after full cure for uniform gloss

Will this stop rust and how durable is the finish?

The formulation seals small exposed metal against moisture when applied correctly, which reduces the chance of corrosion starting at the chip. While it provides a durable and attractive finish for small repairs, it’s not a replacement for full paint refinishing after major damage. Longevity depends on preparation quality and exposure to weather and road debris.

• Seals exposed metal to help prevent corrosion
• Durable for everyday driving conditions when applied properly
• Not intended as a full-panel respray substitute
• Regular care and protection extends results

How do I confirm this matches my Toyota’s paint?

Toyota paint codes are printed on the vehicle’s ID plate or sticker—matching code 1H1 confirms compatibility with Predawn Grey Mica. If you’re unsure, compare the code or request a small test application in an inconspicuous area. Lighting and aging can slightly shift visual match, so inspect in natural daylight after application.

• Locate your vehicle paint code (usually on the driver door jamb)
• Code 1H1 corresponds to Predawn Grey Mica
• Test in a hidden spot if the vehicle’s finish is sun-faded
• Inspect match in natural light after paint cures
