How to Find Your Lexus SC300/400's Color Code

Lexus, manufactured by Toyota, shares many color codes. On all models, a color ID plate on the driver’s door jamb shows C/TR followed by the paint code. Example: C/TR 3P1 FA09, where 3P1 is the color code; FA09 is an interior option code. The same paint can have different names across models (e.g., 3P1: Impulse Red Metallic Clearcoat, also Red Metallic Clearcoat or Wine Metallic Clearcoat). Dealers can provide the color code via VIN.

The Color Breakdown

Lexus really leaned into the "90s luxury" aesthetic for the SC, giving us 20 distinct colors that defined the era. From the deep, iconic Black Onyx to the more adventurous-and very specific-Light Grayish Rose Pearl and Silver Spruce Metallic, they definitely weren't afraid to experiment with the palette. Whether you're driving a Midnight Indigo Pearl coupe or a Royal Jade classic, these cars were designed to shimmer under streetlights, and that shimmer comes from a complex mix of pigments that "The Paint Whisperer" (that's me) appreciates.

What to Watch For

Before you start dabbling with your touch-up pen, you need your "C/TR" code. Open your driver's door and look at the jamb for a silver or black ID plate; your code is the three-digit string following those letters (like 051 or 202). Now, for the reality check: Lexus paint from this era is famously "soft." While that makes it look deep and luscious, it also means it's a magnet for water spots and "etching" from the elements. You'll likely find the most wear on the flat horizontal surfaces-the hood, roof, and trunk-where the clear coat has been "blasted" by the sun over the last few decades. If you see some slight clouding or tiny chips on those door handles, don't worry; it's a standard SC rite of passage.

Driveway Repair Tip

Because so many of these colors are high-end pearls (like Diamond White Pearl), the "magic" is all in the bottle's distribution. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full 60 seconds-longer than you think you need-to wake up those metallic flakes and pearls. When applying, remember that Lexus paint was applied in thin, elegant layers. Instead of one big "glob" to fill a chip, dab on a tiny amount, let it dry, and come back for a second pass. These colors don't like to be rushed, so matching that factory depth requires patience, but your SC will thank you for the extra minute of effort.
