Where to find Lexus color code

How to Find Your Lexus's Color Code

Lexus, manufactured by Toyota, shares many color codes. On all models, a color ID plate on the driver’s door jamb shows C/TR followed by the paint code. Example: C/TR 3P1 FA09, where 3P1 is the color code; FA09 is an interior option code. The same paint can have different names across models (e.g., 3P1: Impulse Red Metallic Clearcoat, also Red Metallic Clearcoat or Wine Metallic Clearcoat). Dealers can provide the color code via VIN.

Your Paint Color Profile

Amber Pearl

The Look

This color is a sophisticated survivor from a specific era of luxury. While most cars from the late 2000s stuck to predictable silvers and blacks, your Lexus opted for something with more depth and character. Whether it is draped over the soft lines of an ES350 or the tighter, more aggressive stance of an IS250, this finish brings a warm, glowing bronze that feels more like jewelry than paint. Since your vehicle has been on the road for well over a decade, you have likely noticed how this shade hides light road dust well, but it truly reveals its personality under direct sunlight where the amber tones wake up.

Technical Details

This is a pearl finish, which means it relies on tiny mica flakes to catch and reflect light. This depth is what makes the car look expensive, but it creates a specific challenge for repairs. Because those flakes are suspended in the paint, they have a "direction." If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot or fail to keep the container moving, the flakes will settle unevenly. This results in mottling-dark, cloudy patches that make the repair look like a bruise rather than a fix. To get the best result, you want to build the color in thin, even layers rather than trying to cover the damage in one heavy pass.

Best Practices

You can find your paint information on the driver's side door jamb; look for the sticker with the VIN and find the letters C/TR. Before you reach for the nozzle or pen to apply Lexus Amber Pearl (look for code 4T0 on that sticker), you must give the container a vigorous shake for at least a full minute to get those mica flakes off the bottom. Do not skip the most important step: test the color on the included card before you touch the car. This ensures the pigments are fully mixed. When you move to the actual repair, work in a cool garage or the shade, and always keep the container moving to ensure the metallic particles lay down flat and uniform. Give the paint plenty of drying time between layers to avoid dragging the finish.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4” long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find my vehicle’s paint code?

Your paint code is usually found in the driver’s door jamb, trunk, or under the hood. See our Lexus Paint Code Guide for detailed instructions.

Will this paint match my car?

Yes. If your Lexus's color code is '4T0', your paint is custom-mixed to factory specs and backed by our Color Match Guarantee. If the paint does not match your Lexus, we will send you a replacement or refund.

Do I need primer and clearcoat?

While primer is recommended on bare metal or plastic, clearcoat is essential: it protects the basecoat and restores factory gloss.

How long does shipping take?

Orders are mixed fresh and ship within 3–5 business days. Delivery takes 2–14 days depending on location.

Which touch up product should I choose?

 It depends on the size of the damage:

  • Paint Pen (½ oz) – Best for very small chips and fine scratches.
  • Brush Bottle (2 oz) – Great for medium chips or scratches up to the size of a quarter.
  • Spray Can – Ideal for larger areas and panels.
  • Professional Sizes (Pint, Quart, Gallon) – Designed for full panel and vehicle resprays using spray equipment.

Not sure? If it’s just rock chips or small scratches, start with a Paint Pen.

Can I return my order?

Yes! If there’s a color match issue, we’ll replace the product or give you your money back. You also can return unopened, non-custom accessories for a full refund.

How long will the paint last in storage?

Paint pens and bottles last about a year if stored cool and dry. Spray cans can last several years if the nozzle is cleaned.
