Lexus RX 350L Touch Up Paint (20 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Lexus really gave us the full spectrum for the RX 350L, with 20 recorded colors that range from "sensible suburban" to "look at me." They definitely went for it with names like Nori Green Pearl and Moonbeam Beige Metallic, though if we're being honest, about half the catalog is a masterclass in "50 Shades of Sophisticated Grey." Whether you're sporting the deep Matador Red Tricoat or the ultra-crisp Blizzard Pearl, your car was designed to catch the light-and unfortunately, every stray pebble on the interstate.

What to Watch For

Before you start dabbing, you need to find your "ID badge." Open the driver's door and look at the jamb for a sticker with the letters C/TR. The three digits following it (like 083 or 1J7) are your golden ticket. Now, a word of warning: Lexus is famous for a "soft" clear coat. This makes the car look like glass when it's new, but it means the paint can be a bit sensitive to aggressive scrubbing. Also, if you're driving one of the white models like Blizzard Pearl or Super White, keep a close eye on the hood and roof; these colors have been known to occasionally "give up" and peel or bubble if a chip is left untreated for too long. Catching those spots early is the secret to keeping your Lexus looking like a Lexus.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many RX 350L colors are "Tricoats" or high-flake metallics, your biggest enemy is gravity. If you're using a touch-up pen or brush, shake that bottle for a full 60 seconds-and I mean "maraca-solo" levels of shaking-to wake up the metallic sparkles that settled at the bottom. When you apply the paint, think of it like building a sandwich: thin, light layers are much better than one big, gloopy "meatball" of paint. If you're working with a pearl finish, remember that it requires a little extra patience to build up the glow, so let each layer dry fully before adding the next.
