Does anybody who has autobody and paint knowledge know if the lexus 1C0 (millenium silver metallic) is slightly different in looks then the toyota 1C0? I heard there are different shades and different formula mix to them. I would really like to know because the paint guy at this shop cannot get the match correctly. He first thought I had a toyota, so he went with the toyota 1C0 mix formula.
The results came out like a slight greenish tint to it. I told him " are you mixing this by the lexus year and make?" His reply was "oh, I thought all this time it was a toyota"
Now he is saying the lexus 1C0 is a different mix formula. Man, this sucks!! I had painted a few panel three fricken times because of all this. The only compensation that I'm getting is a free quart of paint. Can someone please tell me the location of the color panel codes? I know the door area color code, but would like to know if there is a color codes for each panels for a 2002 lexus sc430. Please help!!

There is only one color code except if there's a distinct change in the color itself which I doubt.

Your painter screwed up & did not use the 1C0.....Complain!
Check with your Lexus dealer to verify how many years was the 1C0 used for the SC430 model.
