Lexus GS 350 Touch Up Paint (22 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Lexus designers clearly had a lot of fun with the GS 350, recording a total of 22 different colors over its run. They really went for it with the high-end finishes, moving from the sophisticated Smoky Granite Metallic to the head-turning Matador Red Tricoat and even the rare Orange Pearl Tricoat. It's a lineup that proves Lexus wasn't just building a commute machine; they were building a rolling jewelry box.

What to Watch For

Here's the honest truth: Lexus paint is famously "soft." While that gives it a deep, mirror-like glow, it also means your hood and front bumper tend to collect tiny rock chips like they're scouting badges. You might also notice some flaking on the lower door edges or near the bumper seams where the clear coat is at its thinnest. To find your specific color match, just pop open the driver's side door. Look for a sticker on the jamb-you're looking for a three-digit code right next to the "C/TR" (Color/Trim) heading.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many GS 350 colors are "Tricoats" or "Pearls" (like that stunning Blizzard Pearl), they require a little more patience than a standard flat black. These colors use tiny flakes to catch the light, and those flakes like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full two minutes-yes, time it-to wake up those sparkles. When applying, think "thin and patient." Dab a tiny amount into the chip, let it dry, and repeat. It's better to build up three thin layers that sit flush with the surface than to leave one big, gloopy "mountain" of paint that will never quite look right in the sun.
