Lexus Beige Metallic (C) (UCAB9) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This specific shade is a time capsule from the late nineties, most often found protecting the lower bumpers and side cladding of the original RX300. Since your Lexus has likely been on the road since the turn of the millennium, this color has probably seen its fair share of road debris and sun. It is a warm, understated neutral that was designed to complement the primary body colors of that era, providing a rugged but sophisticated two-tone look that helped define the early luxury SUV aesthetic.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny flakes to catch the light and provide depth. The challenge with any metallic is preventing those flakes from bunching up or mottling, which creates dark, uneven splotches in the finish. Before you spray or dab Lexus Beige Metallic (C) (check for code UCAB9), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This ensures those flakes are suspended evenly so the color remains consistent across the entire repair area.

Best Practices

You will find your paint code on the driver's side door jamb, usually printed on a black or silver VIN sticker. Before you begin, find a spot in your garage or the shade to avoid direct sunlight, which can make the metal too hot for the paint to bond correctly. Always test the color on the included card to confirm the match against your current panels. When applying, keep the container moving in steady, even strokes to avoid heavy build-up in one spot. Multiple thin layers are better than one thick coat, as it allows the metallic particles to lay flat. Give each layer sufficient drying time before adding the next to ensure a durable and level finish.
