Lexus IS-F Touch Up Paint (12 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Lexus didn't just give the IS-F a V8; they gave it an identity crisis in the best way possible. With 12 recorded colors, they leaned heavily into the "sophisticated muscle" vibe. You've got your boardroom classics like Black Onyx and Mercury Metallic, but then they threw a curveball with Matador Red Tricoat and Ultra Blue. It's a bit like a librarian who secretly moonlights as a pro wrestler-mostly refined, but ready to snap at any moment.

What to Watch For

Lexus paint is legendary for its deep, glass-like finish, but it's also known for being "soft." This means it's a bit of a magnet for front-end rock chips, especially since the IS-F sits low enough to high-five a curb. You'll also want to watch out for bird-dropping etching; if left too long, it can eat into that soft clear coat. To find your exact match, open the driver's door and look at the jamb for a sticker. You're looking for a three-digit code next to "C/TR" (it'll look something like 1G0 or 077).

Driveway Repair Tip

Many IS-F colors, like Starfire Pearl or White Nova GF, are "Tricoats." This means there are tiny flakes of pearl suspended in the paint that like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Before you touch that chip, shake your paint pen or bottle for a full two minutes-even if your arm gets tired. When applying, think "less is more." Use the tip of the brush to dab a tiny amount into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. If you're working with a pearl color, doing two very thin layers will give you a much better depth than one big, thick blob.
