Lexus RZ 450e Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Lexus really went for it with the RZ 450e, recording 13 distinct colors that range from the strikingly bold Sonic Copper to the serene Aether Blue. While most EVs stick to a "refrigerator white" palette, Lexus leaned into the "Sonic" and "Tricoat" technology, offering deep, multi-dimensional finishes like Nori Green Pearl and Matador Red Tricoat. They even threw in some high-contrast Two-Tone options for those who want their electric SUV to look like it's wearing a tuxedo.
What to Watch For
Here's the honest truth: modern Lexus paint is famously "soft." While it looks like a million bucks in the showroom, the clear coat on the RZ 450e is environmentally friendly (water-based), which means it can be a bit sensitive to stone chips and bird droppings. You'll likely find your first "battle scars" on the flat nose of the car or around the door handles. To find your specific color match, open the driver's door and look for the ID plate on the jamb; you're looking for the three-digit code following the "C/TR" (Color/Trim) label.
Driveway Repair Tip
Because so many of these colors are "Sonic" or "Tricoat" finishes, they rely on tiny metallic flakes and pearls to get that Lexus glow. When you're using your touch-up pen or brush, **shake that bottle for at least 60 seconds**-more than you think you need-to wake up those sparkles. Instead of trying to fill a chip with one big glob, think in "whisper layers." Apply a tiny dab, let it dry for 15 minutes, and repeat until it's level with the rest of the car. These complex colors don't require magic, they just **require patience** to get the light reflecting correctly again.
