Lexus LX 600 Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Lexus decided to give the LX 600 a palette that says "I own a vineyard, but I can also drive through it." With 9 recorded colors, they leaned heavily into the sophisticated metallics. You've got the classics like Black Onyx and Mercury Gray Metallic, but they also threw in some showstoppers like Nori Green Pearl (for the adventurous soul) and Deep Blue Mc Effect. It's a lineup that proves you can be rugged and still look like you're heading to a gala.
What to Watch For
The LX 600 is essentially a high-end luxury brick moving through the air at 70 mph, which makes it a literal magnet for road debris. While Lexus paint is world-class, it is famously "soft," meaning those tiny pebbles on the highway can leave your hood looking like the surface of the moon if you aren't careful. If you're hunting for your specific color match, don't go searching under the hood-open your driver's side door and look at the VIN sticker on the jamb. You're looking for a three-digit code right next to the "C/TR" (Color/Trim) label.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since most of these colors, especially Sonic Titanium and Sonic Quartz Tricoat, are packed with metallic and pearl flakes, they require a bit of patience to get right. Before you touch the car, shake your touch-up bottle for a full two minutes-even if your arm starts to complain. Those heavy metallic flakes love to settle at the bottom, and you need them floating freely to get that factory shimmer. When applying, remember: three thin, whisper-light coats will always look better than one giant, goopy blob.
