Lexus TX 350 Touch Up Paint (14 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Lexus really decided to have some fun with the TX 350 palette. We're looking at a healthy 14-color lineup that ranges from the stealthy, flat-grey Incognito to the "look-at-me" Sonic Copper. They even threw in the fan-favorite Nori Green Pearl, proving that luxury SUVs don't have to live in a world of boring greys. However, if you did go for the classics, you've got options like Eminent White Pearl and Celestial Silver to keep things sophisticated.

What to Watch For

Before you start dabbing, you need your "secret recipe" code. Open your driver's side door and look at the jamb for a sticker. You're searching for the letters C/TR-the three digits immediately following that are your paint code (like 1L1 or 4Y5).

Now, for the honest truth: modern Lexus paint is famously "soft." This means the clear coat is great for a deep shine, but it's a magnet for micro-scratches and water spots. On a big vehicle like the TX, you'll likely find chips accumulating on the leading edge of the hood and those massive side mirrors. Keep an eye on the door edges, too-with a car this wide, tight parking spots are your paint's natural enemy.

Driveway Repair Tip

Because so many of these colors-like Matador Red Tricoat or Sonic Quartz-are pearls, they have layers of personality. To get those sparkles to wake up, shake your touch-up bottle for a full two minutes. I mean it-set a timer.

When applying, remember that you're a surgeon, not a house painter. If you're using a pen or brush, don't try to fill a deep chip in one go. If you drop a huge blob in there, it'll look like a pimple. Instead, apply one paper-thin layer, let it dry for 20 minutes, and then add another. This is especially true for the "Tricoat" colors; they require a little extra patience to build up that factory depth, but the results are worth the wait.
