Lotsa questions about paint!
Mkay, so my first question is what is the name or ID of the dark green color on the second gen. I called Lexus and they said i would have to go to a body shop. Does Dupli-Color make a paint that i can use that will somewhat match the dark green?(I plan to use this for my trunk lip)
Also, I want to paint the fuse boxes in the engine compartment silver, along with that thing down below...
What is it and is it safe for me to remove it?
One more, I have cleaned my engine cover a bunch of time but it still looks bad, Can I just use the same Dupli-Color spray paint that i used for the wheel centers or will it crack under the high temps? Or do i have to use a paint with ceramics in it.. or should i just not do that...

Look at your driverside door jamb.....there should be a label there identifying your exterior paint code. Write this down and go to Duplicolor's website to see if they have something out for it. If not, go here to this website and look to see if you can get them to make up some paint for you.....
