Lexus RX 450L Touch Up Paint (15 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Lexus didn't hold back on the RX 450L, offering a sophisticated palette of 15 colors that range from the deeply adventurous Nori Green Pearl to the strikingly vibrant Matador Red Tricoat. They clearly embraced the "luxury" in luxury SUV, leaning heavily into complex pearls and multi-stage finishes like Blizzard Pearl and Sonic Titanium Metallic. If you feel like your driveway is looking a bit like a high-end watch catalog, you aren't imagining it-these colors were designed to catch the light at every angle of that extended body.

What to Watch For

While Lexus paint is famous for its "mirror-like" shine, it is also notoriously soft. This means those beautiful, expansive panels on your RX 450L are prone to "road rash"-tiny stone chips that can eventually lead to the clear coat feeling a bit vulnerable. You'll want to check the leading edge of your hood and around the wheel arches frequently. To find your specific match, open the driver's side door and look at the VIN sticker on the jamb. Look for the letters "C/TR" followed by a three-digit code (like 085 or 4X4); that's your golden ticket to the right bottle.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many RX 450L colors are "Tricoats" or "Pearls," they contain tiny flakes that like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Before you even touch the car, shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full two minutes-yes, time it! This wakes up the "sparkle" so your repair doesn't look like a flat dull spot. When applying, think of it like painting a fingernail: one thin pass to cover the metal, wait 15 minutes, and then a second tiny dab to bring the color level. These complex colors require patience, so don't try to fill a deep crater in one go, or you'll end up with a "paint mountain" instead of a smooth fix.
