That is an excellenct color. The issue is that Lexus put that on the IS for 2001 only (please correct me if I am wrong, anyone) and at that they are very rare. I would try and contact a Lexus dealer and hopefully you will be able to get it there. If not your painted should have a paint book with more samples than you could ever imagine, this would be another good source. The paint book may not give you the paint code but it will give the painter something that is close so he can use the code in the paint book. Good luck and I hope these ideas will help. Awesome color.

Well the sc folks havent been able to help me out yet, people are trying but aperantly it is a rare color. I know that in that Toyta website with all the paint codes and pictures that color is wrong. I thought i would ask here

By the way goodluck on your project mitsuguy. Looking forward to the end result.

Take a good quality picture to a painter and go through his paint book together and get as close as you can. If you are off a shade or two no one will ever know because the color is so rare. Hell you would not even notice.

Toyota 3n3

But when you buy the car it's Auburn sky pearl.

Weird, but you cannot trust Autotrader.
