Lexus CT200h Touch Up Paint (16 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Lexus didn't just give the CT200h a hybrid engine; they gave it a wardrobe. We've recorded 21 distinct colors for this model, ranging from the high-energy Matador Red Tricoat to the "I'm sophisticated but earthy" Sienna Brown Pearl. They even offered several Two-Tone options for the adventurous types. Whether you're driving a Starfire Pearl or the deep, mysterious Black Opal Pearl, Lexus really went for it with the depth of these finishes.

What to Watch For

Before you start, you'll need your secret handshake-the paint code. Open the driver's door and look at the jamb for a sticker. You're looking for the letters C/TR (Color/Trim); the three-digit code right after that is your target (like 083 or 212). Regarding the paint itself, the CT200h can be a bit sensitive. Keep an eye on the roof, rear spoiler, and the top of the hatch-these areas are known to show clear coat wear or fading if they've spent too much time baking in the sun. You might also notice the hood is a bit of a magnet for small stone chips, but don't worry, that's exactly why you're here.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many CT200h colors are "Tricoats" or "Pearls," they have a lot of tiny metallic flakes that like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full 60 seconds-longer than you think you need to-to wake up those sparkles. When applying, resist the urge to fill a chip with one big glob. Instead, dab on a very thin layer, let it dry for 15 minutes, and then add another. This prevents the metallic flakes from bunching up and ensures your repair looks like a smooth finish rather than a tiny mountain. It requires a little patience, but the results are worth the wait.
