Lotus All Models Touch Up Paint (56 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Lotus didn't just build cars; they built 56 different ways to turn heads. From the iconic British Racing Green and Norfolk Mustard to the high-voltage Chrome Orange Tricoat and Isotope Green, they really went for it. Whether you're driving a classic Monaco White Esprit or a Starlight Black Metallic Elise, Lotus colors aren't just paint-they're a personality.

What to Watch For

Finding your paint code is your first mission. Pop the hood and check the strut towers (left or right side) or look for the manufacturer sticker on the driver's side door jamb. You're looking for a four-digit code like C118 or A71. Because most Lotus bodies are fiberglass, they have a unique quirk: moisture or oils can sometimes get trapped under the surface, leading to tiny bubbles or "micro-blisters." Keep a close eye on the front hood and around the door hinges-if you see a small chip, tackle it quickly to keep the elements from sneaking under the paint.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since many Lotus colors are pearls or tricoats (looking at you, Chrome Orange and White Pearl), they require a bit of patience to get that deep glow. Shake your touch-up bottle for at least 60 seconds to wake up those metallic flakes before you start. When applying, remember that Lotus paint is famously thin from the factory-aim for two or three whisper-thin layers rather than one thick "blob." If you're using a brush, just dab the center of the chip and let the paint flow to the edges; it's much better to build the color up slowly than to have to clean up a run on your beautiful fiberglass curves.
