1992 Lexus Touch Up Paint (31 OEM Colors)

The 1992 Lexus Vibe

In 1992, Lexus wasn't just building cars; they were causing a collective nervous breakdown for the German luxury brands. Whether you were floating in the vault-quiet LS400 or turning heads in the sleek SC400, the look was "stealth wealth." The palette was all about executive dignity, and we've prioritized the survivors that still define that era-most notably the deep, glass-like Black Onyx. Back then, a Lexus wasn't finished until it had that signature two-tone look, which is why we've dialed in the essential cladding shades like Dark Gray Metallic and Light Grayish Beige Metallic. It's the "tuxedo" aesthetic of the early '90s, personified.

Paint Health Check

Lexus factory paint in the early '90s was arguably the best in the world, but even the legends have a weakness. We are squarely in the Peeling Era here. While the base color usually holds its pigment better than a cheap '90s neon, the clear coat is the weak link. After thirty years of sun and road grit, that clear layer is prone to "delamination"-that's when it starts looking like a bad sunburn, flaking off in white sheets. On these cars, you'll usually see it fail first on the horizontal surfaces like the roof and the trunk lid. If your clear coat is still intact, you're driving a miracle; if it's starting to cloud, the clock is ticking.

Restoration Tip

The golden rule for 1992 clear coats: Seal every chip immediately before the clear lifts. Once moisture or air gets under a rock chip, it begins to undermine the adhesion of the clear coat to the base color. Use our touch-up to seal those edges and lock them down. Also, pay special attention to the transition between the metal body and the plastic cladding. These materials expand and contract at different rates, which can cause the paint to crack at the seams. Keep those edges sealed tight to prevent the "lift" that turns a small repair into a total respray.
