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

Blue Pearl Metallic

The Look

This shade defined the era when the GS300 and GS400 began to challenge the European executive titans. It is a deep, confident blue that managed to make the IS200 look like a piece of custom jewelry. Since your Lexus has likely spent over twenty years on the road, you might notice the original finish has a certain depth that a standard flat blue simply cannot match. It is a mature color that feels expensive without being loud. It works well to hide light road dust, but it reveals its true character under direct sunlight when the pearl pigments wake up.

Technical Details

This is a pearl metallic finish, which means it contains both traditional metallic flakes and translucent mica. These particles are heavier than the paint itself and tend to settle at the bottom of the container quickly. If you do not mix them thoroughly, the repair will look like a flat navy blue rather than a matched sapphire. The biggest risk with this finish is mottling. If the flakes are applied unevenly, the blue will look darker in some spots and lighter in others, creating a striped effect. This happens because the way the pearl particles lay down determines how they reflect light back to your eye.

Best Practices

You can find your color information on the identification sticker located on the driver side door jamb, usually listed next to the C/TR heading. Before you spray or dab Lexus Blue Pearl Metallic (check for code 8M6), you must shake the container for at least two minutes to ensure the mica is fully suspended. Do not skip this step, or the color shift will be off. Test the color on the included card first to get a feel for the flow of the paint. When you move to the car, keep the container moving to prevent the heavy metallic particles from pooling in one spot. Apply several thin layers rather than one heavy coat, and allow for plenty of drying time between each pass. For the best results, work in your garage or a patch of shade to keep the metal surface at a moderate temperature.

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?

Because your Lexus is older or uncommon, the most accurate option is custom matching where you mail in a small painted part for a hand match. Our paint technicians usually do a great job matching Lexus color code '8M6' but a perfect match cannot be guaranteed.

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.
