I have a millenium silver 2000 GS400 Platinum Edition. Yes that is the correct color code. I haven't seen the millenium silver next to the alpine silver. Is there a significant difference?

indypwr

hmmm, now you got me confused.....is it millenium i want or platinum?
anyways, do you know this guy named "tommy"? he's got the gs with the color i wanted.
i dont quite know his screen name. he attended the last lexus meet here in los angeles.

tommy! are you there!!!........holla me back!!!........

sorry I wasn't clear. My GS is the Platinum Edition, but the silver is Millenium silver. The only 2 types of silver that exist as far as I know are millenium silver and alpine silver.

indypwr

i see.......you got any pics of your car that i can take a look?

Rexdr

Not my car, but this is car is millenium silver.

Tommy has the Millenium Silver, it has more metallic in it than the other silvers. Some of the other silvers have a bluish tint to them. The color code is correct, 1C0.

Up to 2000 is Alpine Silver, 2001+ is Millenium Silver

Somebody withthe millineum silver can confirm?



Also - I'm pretty sure that 98/99 = Alipine silver and 2000+ = Millenium Silver... not just because the Y2K / Millenium thing, but because TomTNC has a 99 GS in Alpine and Bitkahuna has a 2000 GS in Millenium and they are distinctly different colors.

Not quite true. I had a 2000 GS300 Platinum Edition and is was Millenium Silver - paint code 1C0

Okay. I know the definitive answer to this because I specifically bought my car because it was alpine silver. Alpine silver was used for 1998 and 1999, and the color code is 199. Millenium silver began being used in 2000, and is still used today. The color code for millenium silver is 1C0. The 2 colors are very different, and there is a thread dedicated to this. Give me a second to search . . .

Here it is one thread (it's not the one I was thinking of, though):
