Lexus TX 350F Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Lexus kept the palette tight and tidy for the TX 350F, recording just 6 official shades. They really leaned into the "urban sophisticated" vibe here, ranging from the stealthy Incognito (which I like to call 'luxury battleship grey') to the deep, sparkling Matador Red Tricoat. Whether you're driving the sleek Celestial Silver or the moody Graphite Black Metallic, you're dealing with a finish that's designed to look like a million bucks-which means every little pebble chip feels like a personal insult.
What to Watch For
The good news? Early reports suggest the TX 350F has slightly thicker paint than some older Lexus models, which is a win for durability. The "but" is that Lexus paint is notoriously "soft," meaning it's prone to those tiny white pepper-flakes of chips on the hood and that massive front fascia. To find your exact match, open your driver's door and look at the VIN sticker on the jamb; you're looking for the letters "C/TR" followed by a three-digit code. Keep a close eye on the leading edge of the hood-this big SUV has a lot of surface area for road debris to target.
Driveway Repair Tip
If you're touching up the Matador Red Tricoat or any of the metallic shades like Sonic Chrome, your biggest secret weapon is time. These paints have tiny flakes and pearls that like to settle at the bottom of the bottle while they sit in your mailbox. Shake that touch-up pen or bottle for a full 60 seconds-don't stop when your arm gets tired; keep going until you hear that little mixing ball rattling like a maraca. When applying, remember: thin is in. Use three whisper-thin layers rather than one big, gloopy drop. It requires a bit of patience, but it's the only way to get those sparkles to lay down flat and catch the light correctly.
