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

Garnet Red Metallic

The Look

This color defines the era of the classic Lexus luxury SUV. It is a deep, regal shade that makes a statement without shouting. Whether it is draped over the muscular lines of a GX460 or the sharp angles of an RX350, this red carries a heavy, wine-like depth. In the shade of your garage, it might look almost like a dark mahogany, but once the sun hits your LX570, the color opens up into a rich, glowing crimson. Since your vehicle has been on the road for several years, you have likely noticed that while this dark pigment hides light road dust well, any deep stone chips can look quite bright against the dark surrounding finish.

Technical Details

This is a metallic mica finish, which means it relies on tiny, reflective particles to create that signature Lexus depth. Before you spray or dab Lexus Garnet Red Metallic (check for code 3S0), you must shake the container thoroughly. If those particles remain at the bottom, your repair will look like a flat, muddy red that won't catch the light. Because the pigment is so dense, you need to watch out for mottling. If the paint is applied too heavily in one spot, the metallic flakes will bunch up and create dark blotches or stripes. Keeping your layers thin is the only way to ensure the metallic particles lay down in a uniform pattern.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on the silver identification sticker located inside the driver's side door jamb, usually right next to the tire pressure information. Before you touch the car, test the color on the included card to make sure you are happy with the shade and the flow of the nozzle or brush. When you start the repair, work in a cool garage or the shade to prevent the paint from setting too fast. Keep the container moving at all times to avoid pooling. Instead of trying to cover a scratch in one go, apply two or three thin layers and allow plenty of drying time between them. This patience allows the metallic flakes to settle correctly, giving you a finish that matches the factory look.

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 '3S0', 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.
