Lexus RX300 Touch Up Paint (28 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Lexus didn't just release an SUV; they released a rolling art gallery. With a staggering 41 colors recorded for the RX300, they really went for it. You've got everything from the sophisticated White Crystal Pearl Tricoat to the "look-at-me" Autumn Blaze Metallic. Whether your car is wrapped in one of their "50 shades of grey" (like Grayish Green Pearl) or the deep, moody Black Onyx, Lexus chose pigments that were designed to shimmer under suburban streetlights.

What to Watch For

Lexus paint is legendary for its deep shine, but in the DIY world, we call it "soft." This is a bit of a "good news, bad news" situation: it chips if a pebble even looks at it funny, but it's very forgiving when you're trying to hand-apply a fix. You'll likely notice the most wear on the hood and that chunky lower body cladding.

Speaking of cladding, here is your pro-tip: The RX300 is a master of the two-tone look. To find your exact match, head to the driver's side door jamb and look for a sticker with "C/TR" (Color/Trim). The three-digit code following it is your primary body color. If you're fixing the lower plastic panels, keep an eye out for codes starting with "UCA"-those are specific to the trim and often have a slightly different finish than the metal bits.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many of these colors are "Pearls" or "Micas," they rely on tiny sparkly flakes to look good. These flakes are heavy and love to nap at the bottom of your touch-up bottle. Shake that bottle for a full two minutes-even when you think you're done, shake it for another 30 seconds.

When applying, remember that Lexus factory paint is thin and elegant. If you're working with a pearl color, it requires patience; apply two or three paper-thin layers rather than one big glob. If you're filling a deep chip, let each layer dry until it's no longer tacky before adding the next. You aren't just "painting"; you're rebuilding the jewelry-like finish your Lexus deserves!
