Lexus LC Convertible Touch Up Paint (10 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Lexus didn't hold back with the LC Convertible, treating it more like a rolling sculpture than a commuter car. We've recorded 10 distinct colors for this beauty, and "bold" is an understatement. From the high-voltage Flare Yellow Tricoat and the earthy, sophisticated Nori Green Pearl to the head-turning Radiant Red Metallic Tricoat, they really went for it. Whether yours is shimmering in Sonic Copper or classic Graphite Black Metallic, these colors are designed to catch the light-and unfortunately, every stray pebble on the highway.

What to Watch For

Before you start your repair, head over to the driver's side door jamb. You're looking for a silver or black VIN sticker; at the bottom, you'll see the letters "C/TR" followed by a three-digit code. That's your golden ticket. As for the paint itself, Lexus is known for having a "soft" clear coat. This makes the car look incredibly deep and glossy, but it also means it's prone to "road rash" (tiny pepper-like stone chips) on that low-slung front nose. You might also notice that the paint seems to "absorb" fine scratches-Lexus actually uses a self-restoring clear coat on some models, but for an actual chip that hits the primer, you'll need to step in and help.

Driveway Repair Tip

Because the LC Convertible features many "Tricoat" and "Pearl" finishes, your touch-up kit might come with more than one bottle (a base color and a translucent mid-coat). This requires patience, but you can absolutely do it. The secret is in the "thin is in" mantra: use a toothpick or the very tip of your touch-up brush to apply the base color in tiny dabs until the crater is almost filled. Wait 20 minutes, then apply the pearl mid-coat. If you're working with those metallic shades like Sonic Titanium, shake that bottle for a full two minutes-those tiny metallic flakes like to settle at the bottom, and you need them awake and dancing to get a perfect match.
