Your Paint Color Profile

8Z2 - Aether Blue

The Look

If you are staring at your RZ 300e or RZ 450e, you know this color is anything but a standard sky blue. This finish was designed specifically for the Lexus electric era, offering a crisp, airy aesthetic that looks like high-definition oxygen. It is frequently paired with a black bi-tone roof, making it one of the most distinctive modern looks on the road. Because it is a newer arrival for 2025 and 2026, the factory finish is still deep and vibrant, so your repair needs to focus on matching that factory-fresh clarity.

Technical Details

This is a complex Pearl Metallic finish. Unlike a solid color, the tiny flakes inside the paint react to how light hits the panels of your Lexus. The biggest risk with a metallic like this is mottling-those dark patches or "stripes" that appear if the flakes settle unevenly. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the metal particles will clump together and ruin the light-dancing effect. Before you spray or dab Lexus Aether Blue (check for code 8Z2), you need to shake the container for at least 60 seconds to ensure those heavy metallic particles are fully suspended in the resin.

Best Practices

You will find your paint code on the driver's side door jamb. Look for a silver or black sticker and find the "C/TR" line; the three-digit sequence following it is your confirmation. When you are ready to begin, move your car into a covered Garage or a patch of Shade to keep the surface cool. Always test the color on the included card first to get a feel for the flow. Whether you are using a Pen or a Can, the secret to a professional look is thin layers. Keep the container moving at all times to prevent the pearl from pooling, and allow plenty of drying time between each light pass.

ensuring the right match

How to Find Your Lexus'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.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
