Lexus ES 300h Touch Up Paint (23 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Lexus didn't hold back with the ES 300h, offering a staggering 23 colors that range from the deeply dramatic Matador Red Tricoat to the "nature-walk-at-golden-hour" vibe of Sunlit Green Pearl. They really leaned into the "Sophisticated Sparkle" aesthetic. Whether you're rocking Moonbeam Beige Metallic or the classic Blizzard Pearl Tricoat, your car was designed to look like a piece of high-end jewelry-which means every little highway rock chip feels like a personal insult to the aesthetic.

What to Watch For

Lexus paint is beautiful, but it's famously "polite"-which is a nice way of saying the clear coat is on the softer side. Because the ES 300h is a champion highway cruiser, the front hood and nose are prime real estate for tiny battle scars. If you own one of the lighter pearl whites, keep an eye on the edges of the panels; that paint can occasionally get shy and try to flake away if a chip isn't addressed. To find your exact match, open the driver's door and look for the ID sticker on the jamb. You're looking for the letters "C/TR" followed by a three-digit code (like 083 or 1L1).

Driveway Repair Tip

Since many of these colors are pearls or "tricoats," they rely on tiny metallic flakes to do the heavy lifting. Before you touch that chip, perform the "Shake-and-Wait": shake your touch-up bottle or pen for a full two minutes to wake up those sparkles. When you apply the paint, don't try to fill the hole in one go. Think of it like a polite conversation: use light, thin layers rather than one big shout. If you're using a brush, just "dot" the center of the chip and let the paint flow to the edges naturally. It requires a little more patience, but it's the secret to making that repair disappear into the shimmer.
