No major body parts come painted. Bumper covers are considered major parts.

Actually, you can get the rocker panels and a few moldings prepainted as well. You'll need to check with the part rep.

Is there a way to get "LEXUS" paint, or is it impossible? I would prefer using the same brand or mixure they use if I have to do it. Thanks for the help.

there is no such thing that you can buy directly. you just have to take it to a reputable body shop and let them mix it.

You can also go to a reputable auto paint store and they'll be glad to mix up paint for you. Some of them will even put it in a spray can for you. It's not exactly cheap though.

There aren't many, if any reputable body shops in Las Vegas. There is one that both my detailer and my dealer recommend. Also they fixed my dads
SL55 which is black and did a decent job. I guess I have no choice but to let they handle it. Thanks for the input.
