Lexus LC 500h Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Lexus didn't just give the LC 500h a paint job; they gave it a personality. With 27 recorded colors, they really leaned into the "look at me" aesthetic. You've got everything from the organic Nori Green Pearl (which sounds like an artisanal sushi order) to the high-voltage Flare Yellow Tricoat. Whether you're rocking the deep Cadmium Orange or the understated Bronze Oxide Pearl, Lexus clearly decided that "boring" wasn't on the menu.
What to Watch For
Here is the deal: your LC 500h sits lower to the ground than a dropped wallet, making that beautiful nose a massive target for road debris. Lexus is also famous for their "self-restoring" clear coat. While it sounds like science fiction, in the DIY world it means the paint is a bit on the softer side. It's great for "healing" tiny swirl marks in the sun, but it can be prone to rock chips that occasionally like to blister if they aren't sealed up. To find your exact match, open the driver's door and look at the VIN sticker on the jamb-your code is the three-digit combo right next to the "C/TR" label.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since so many of these colors are "Tricoats" or "Pearl" finishes, they are packed with tiny metallic flakes that love to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full 60 seconds-seriously, use a timer. You want those sparkles awake and dancing before they hit the car. Because Lexus paint is soft, don't try to fill a chip with one giant glob. Apply two or three whisper-thin layers, letting each one dry in between. It requires a little more patience, but it's the only way to get that deep, factory-sanded look without the factory price tag.
