Lexus CT 200h Touch Up Paint (13 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Lexus gave the CT 200h a surprisingly diverse wardrobe with 21 recorded colors. They really went for it, offering everything from the bold Redline to the sophisticated Sienna Brown Pearl and the multi-layered White Nova GF Pearl Tricoat. It's clear they wanted this car to be the "sensible sibling" that still knows how to dress up for a night out-it's not just 50 shades of grey, though Mercury Gray Metallic is definitely there to keep things classy.

What to Watch For

You can find your paint code on the driver's side door jamb; look for the ID plate and find the letters "C/TR" followed by a three-digit code. While these cars are built like bank vaults, the paint itself is famously "soft." This means it's prone to road-rash chips on the low-slung hood and front bumper. If you own one of the "Sonic" or "Nova" white shades, keep a close watch on the roof and door edges-these pearlescent finishes sometimes struggle with adhesion, so catching a small chip early prevents a larger "peeling" headache later.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many CT 200h colors are high-end pearls or metallics, your best friend is a steady hand and a heavy shake. Give your touch-up bottle a full 60 seconds of vigorous shaking to wake up those heavy metallic flakes that like to settle at the bottom. When applying, think "thin and patient." If you have a deep chip, dab a tiny amount in, let it dry, and repeat. If you're dealing with a two-tone code (like 212/083), double-check if you're painting the body or the roof before you start-getting those mixed up requires a lot of patience to fix!
