COLOR CODE6P2 - Dark Green Pearl MetallicLexus Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color is the hallmark of late-90s executive luxury. On the SC300 or ES300, it creates a mood of quiet sophistication that lighter greens cannot match. Since your Lexus has likely been on the road for nearly thirty years, you are dealing with a finish that has softened and matured over time. In the shade of your garage, the paint looks almost black, but the emerald hues wake up the moment you pull into the sun. It is a shade that rewards a clean car but will show every speck of dust and road grime if you let it sit.

Technical Details

This is a complex pearl finish, meaning the depth comes from tiny mica flakes suspended in the paint. These flakes give the car its characteristic shimmer, but they also make the repair process a bit more demanding. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the mica will cluster together and make the patch look like a dark, muddy bruise. Because of the way the light hits these particles, the goal is to keep the application light. The risk with a dark green pearl is that it can quickly turn into a flat black if the flakes are not distributed evenly across the surface.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on the driver side door jamb sticker, usually listed right after the "C/TR" designation. Before you spray or dab Lexus Dark Green Pearl Metallic (check for code 6P2), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. The mica particles in this specific mix are heavy and like to settle at the bottom of the container. Test the color on the included card to see how the pearls lay down before you touch the car. When you begin your repair, keep the container moving to ensure the flow remains even. Give each layer enough drying time so the finish sets flat, which prevents the emerald from looking blotchy or inconsistent.
