Lexus LX570 Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Lexus graced the LX570 with a total of 17 different shades, ranging from the deep, classic Black Onyx to the more adventurous Golden Almond Pearl and Sleek Ecru Metallic. They clearly leaned into the "Executive Commuter" aesthetic, offering plenty of sophisticated options like Mercury Gray Metallic and Twilight Gray Metallic. If you're looking at your car and thinking, "Is this silver or gray?"-well, Lexus gave us about five different ways to answer that question. They really went for it with the pearls, ensuring that even a 6,000-pound SUV can sparkle in the right light.
What to Watch For
Lexus is famous for luxury, but their clear coats are known in the driveway world for being a bit "soft." This means the LX570 is a bit of a magnet for hood chips and fine micro-scratches from car washes. You might also notice the paint on the door handles or the very top of the tailgate showing a little extra wear from the sun over the years. To get started, you'll need your specific code: open the driver's side door and look at the jamb for a sticker. You're looking for the letters "C/TR" followed by a three-digit code (like 202 or 077). That code is your North Star-don't buy a bottle without it!
Driveway Repair Tip
Since so many of these LX570 colors-like Starfire Pearl Tricoat or Dark Red Pearl Tricoat-rely on heavy metallic and pearl flakes, your best friend is a vigorous shake. Before you open that touch-up bottle, shake it for a full 60 seconds (set a timer!) to wake up those heavy sparkles that like to settle at the bottom. When applying, remember that these luxury finishes require patience. Instead of trying to fill a chip with one big glob, dab on a tiny, thin layer, let it dry for twenty minutes, and then come back for a second pass. It's better to build the color up slowly than to end up with a "beauty mark" that stands out more than the chip did.
