Lexus GS430 Touch Up Paint (20 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Lexus didn't hold back with the GS430, offering a palette of 20 colors that range from "Boardroom Professional" to "Midnight Maverick." They gave us everything from the deep, mysterious Black Opal Pearl to the strikingly bold Matador Red Tricoat. Whether you're rocking the earthy Golden Almond Pearl or the sleek Mercury Metallic, it's clear Lexus wanted this car to shimmer under every streetlight. They really went for it with the pearls and micas, ensuring your driveway looks like a jewelry box.

What to Watch For

Here is the honest truth: Lexus paint is famously "soft." While that gives it a deep, liquid-like luster, it also means your front bumper and hood are basically magnets for road debris and tiny rock chips. If you have a darker shade like Black Onyx, you might also notice that the clear coat is sensitive to water spots and fine surface marks. Don't sweat it, though-it just means your car wears its miles on its sleeve. To find your specific color match, open your driver's door and look at the jamb for a white or silver sticker. You're looking for the letters "C/TR"; the three-digit code right after that (like 077 or 1G0) is the secret key to your repair.

Driveway Repair Tip

Because so many GS430 colors-like White Crystal Pearl or Glacier Frost Mica-are complex tricoats, those beautiful metallic flakes like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Before you touch the car, shake your touch-up pen or brush for at least 60 seconds longer than you think you need to. You want to wake up those sparkles! When you're filling a chip, remember that less is more. Dab a tiny amount into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. It's much better to apply two thin, patient layers than one giant "blob" that takes forever to dry. You've got this!
