Lexus IS350C Touch Up Paint (19 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Lexus didn't hold back on the IS350C, giving us 19 distinct shades to choose from. They really went for it, offering everything from the sophisticated Glacier Frost Mica Tricoat to the bold Matador Red Tricoat and even the earthy Sienna Brown Pearl. Whether you're rocking the deep Black Sapphire Metallic or the breezy Breakwater Blue, your convertible was designed to catch the sun. However, having nearly 20 colors means your specific shade of "silver" or "white" has a very specific DNA, so we need to be precise.

What to Watch For

Lexus is famous for "soft" clear coats. They call it "self-healing" in some marketing brochures, but in the driveway, that just means it's a bit of a magnet for rock chips on the hood and micro-scratches around the door handles. If you have one of the pearl whites like Starfire Pearl, keep an eye on the edges of that folding hardtop; UV rays love to nibble at the finish there. 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 the "C/TR" (Color/Trim) label-it's usually a mix of numbers and letters like 077 or 1G1.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many IS350C colors are "Tricoats" (that's code for "it has a fancy pearl layer"), your touch-up kit might come with two separate bottles. Don't let that intimidate you! The secret is in the shake: give that bottle a solid 60 seconds of rhythmic cardio to wake up the metallic flakes. When applying, remember that three paper-thin layers will always look better than one thick, globby teardrop. If you're working on a pearl finish, it requires patience-let each layer dry until it's no longer tacky before adding the next to build up that signature Lexus depth.
