Lexus RX350 Touch Up Paint (32 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Lexus has treated the RX350 like a canvas for a nature documentary, recording a staggering 32 colors over the years. They really went for it with the "earthy luxury" vibe, giving us everything from the zen-like Bamboo Pearl Metallic and Desert Sage Metallic to the more traditional Matador Red Tricoat. Whether your car is dressed in the deep Black Sapphire Metallic or the crisp Starfire Pearl, Lexus designers clearly wanted your SUV to look like it belongs at a high-end botanical garden.

What to Watch For

Before you start, pop open the driver's side door and look at the jamb. You're searching for a sticker with the letters "C/TR" (Color/Trim). The three digits following that are your golden ticket to the right bottle of paint. Now, for the reality check: Lexus paint is known for being "soft." This is great for a smooth finish, but it means the front hood and side mirrors are basically magnets for road debris. If you have one of the white pearl colors, keep a close eye on the roof and hatch; these "tricoat" whites have a known habit of peeling if they spend too much time in the sun. Also, check your door handles-older metallics like Bamboo Pearl can sometimes see the clear coat start to flake off there first.

Driveway Repair Tip

Because Lexus loves their Tricoats and Pearls, matching that deep, shimmering look requires patience. These colors aren't just one paint; they are layers of magic. If you're using a touch-up bottle, shake it for at least 60 seconds-longer than you think you need-to wake up those tiny metallic flakes that settled at the bottom. Instead of trying to fill a chip with one big glob, apply two or three paper-thin layers. Think of it like building a sandwich; you want the layers to sit flush with the rest of the car, not create a mountain that stands out. If you're working on a vertical surface like a door handle, use the tiniest amount of paint possible to avoid a "run" down the side of your car.
