Lexus RC350 Touch Up Paint (9 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Lexus didn't just pick colors for the RC350; they curated an art gallery. With 9 recorded shades, they really went for it, especially with the high-end finishes like Radiant Red Metallic Tricoat and Orange Pearl Tricoat. While there are a few "shades of grey" in the mix-looking at you, Mercury Gray and Sonic Titanium-even those have enough metallic flake to make a disco ball jealous. Whether you have the crisp White Nova GF Pearl or the deep Blue Pearl, you aren't just driving a car; you're driving a light-refracting gemstone.

What to Watch For

Lexus uses a "self-restoring" clear coat on these models, which is a high-tech way of saying the paint is designed to be slightly "soft" so it can absorb tiny surface scratches. The trade-off? That softness makes the low-slung nose and hood of the RC350 a magnet for road chips. Before you start, find your specific paint code on the driver's side door jamb. Look for the "C/TR" (Color/Trim) label-it'll be a three-character code like 083 or 1L2. Keep an eye on the leading edge of the hood; that's usually where the road likes to leave its "signature."

Driveway Repair Tip

Since most of these Lexus colors are multi-stage pearls, getting that factory depth requires patience. The "magic" is in the sparkles, and those sparkles love to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or brush for a full 60 seconds-longer than you think you need-to get the metallic flakes properly suspended. When you apply the paint, use the "less is more" rule. Dabbing a tiny amount into the center of the chip and letting it flow to the edges is much better than trying to paint a thick "blob" in one go. Give it time to dry, and that pearl will wake right up.
