Lexus Grayish Green Pearl Metallic (6R6) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color defined the luxury landscape when the RX300 first hit the streets. On the ES300 and IS200, it carries a reserved, executive weight. It is a chameleon. Under a cloudy sky, your car looks like deep slate gray. Once the sun hits the panels, the mossy green undertones and mica shimmer wake up. Since your Lexus has lived through two decades of sun and weather, the original finish has likely faded. New paint often looks richer than the old, so focus on the center of your repair and taper the edges to help the new color transition into the old.

Technical Details

Before you spray or dab Lexus Grayish Green Pearl Metallic (check for code 6R6), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is a complex pearl metallic finish. It relies on a mix of aluminum flakes for reflection and mica particles for depth. If the container sits still, those heavy particles sink to the bottom. Without a thorough mix, you will get a flat green instead of a shimmering gray. These finishes are prone to mottling, where the flakes clump into dark spots or stripes if the application is too heavy.

Best Practices

Find your code on the driver's side door jamb; look for the C/TR designation on the manufacturing sticker. To ensure a match, test the color on the included card before touching the car. High-metallic paints demand thin, even layers. Keep the container moving at all times to prevent the flakes from puddling in one spot. Give each layer enough drying time so the paint sets firm. If you apply the paint too thick or too fast, the pearl particles will drown in the wet resin, and you will lose that signature Lexus depth.
