Lexus RZ 300e Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Lexus didn't just release an electric car; they released a rolling art gallery. With 15 recorded colors, they really went for it. You've got everything from the "look-at-me" glow of Sonic Copper and the woodsy Nori Green Pearl to the strikingly modern Aether Blue. Whether your RZ is dressed in a classic Matador Red Tricoat or one of those sophisticated Two-Tone combinations, it's clear the designers wanted to make a statement-and now you're making a statement about that rock chip on the hood.
What to Watch For
The RZ 300e has a "spindle body" design, which basically means it has a big, beautiful, flat face that acts as a magnet for highway gravel. While the paint looks deep enough to swim in, modern Lexus finishes are famously "soft." This means they can chip if a pebble so much as looks at them funny. You'll find your specific paint code on a sticker inside the driver's side door jamb; look for the letters "C/TR" followed by a three-digit code (like 4Y5 or 1L1). Keep an eye on the leading edge of the hood and those flared wheel arches-those are the high-traffic zones for chips.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since so many of these colors-especially the "Sonic" series and the pearls-rely on tiny metallic flakes to get that glow, your biggest job happens before the cap even comes off. Shake your touch-up bottle for a full 60 seconds. I'm serious; set a timer. Those heavy metallic particles love to nap at the bottom of the bottle, and you need them awake to get a match. When you're filling a chip, remember that the factory paint on these is incredibly thin (we're talking microns), so "less is more." Use a tiny dab, let it dry for 20 minutes, and add another thin layer if needed. It requires a little patience, but it's much better than having a visible blob on your high-tech EV.
