Lexus does not have anything like that available, so YMMV from your local dealer. Their body shop may or may not do something like that for you. With starfire pearl I bet they won't, it would be a miracle if something out of a rattle can came anywhere near matching starfire pearl.

It'll probably be cheaper to buy an OEM SFP bumper from ebay.

Welcome to CL. SFPD isn't easy to match up for professionals and you spraying it would look HORRIBLE! Save up till you can pay for a shop to do it. You have a Lexus,
Not a Yugo.

Aerosol cans are available here... I got some in 1G1 (tungsten pearl) to paint the lip on my front bumper, the color match was excellent... They have an acrylic lacquer to use as the top coat... Doing the whole bumper would be more difficult, and the results maybe less than satisfactory...
