Lexus RC F Touch Up Paint (11 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Lexus clearly decided that if the RC F was going to scream with its V8, it should shout with its paint, too. We've recorded 11 colors for this beast, and they really went for it. You've got the heavy hitters like Radiant Red Metallic Tricoat and Orange Pearl Tricoat that look like they belong on a poster, but Lexus wouldn't be Lexus without a sophisticated palette of greys. Between Mercury Gray Metallic, Sonic Titanium, and Liquid Platinum, they've managed to turn "silver" into a high-art form.

What to Watch For

Before you get started, head over to the driver's side door jamb. You're looking for a sticker with "C/TR" followed by a three-digit code-that's your golden ticket. Now, for the honest truth: Lexus paint is a bit of a "softie." While it looks incredible under showroom lights, the clear coat is relatively delicate, meaning the front bumper and hood of an RC F often look like they've been in a minor sandstorm from all the road chips. You might also notice that the White Nova GF Pearl or Sonic Quartz can be magnets for tiny iron deposits (those little orange dots), so make sure the area is surgically clean before you touch it up.

Driveway Repair Tip

Because so many RC F colors are "Tricoats" (looking at you, Blue Pearl and White Nova), they have a lot of metallic and pearl flakes that like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake that paint for at least 60 seconds-longer than you think you need to-to wake up those sparkles. When you're filling a chip, don't try to "paint" a stroke. Instead, use the tip of your brush or pen to "dab" the color into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. If you're working with a Tricoat kit, remember that patience is your best friend; let the base color dry completely before adding the pearl mid-coat, or you'll end up with a cloudy spot instead of a shimmering one.
