Default 2 tone car, having trouble finding darker color for (rocker panels & lower bumper)

My 98 LS is in awesome shape with low miles. In this economy I decided to keep it for another year. but, I have some scratches down the back bumper (wife shut garage door and it rubbed). I have been trying to find the code for the darker rocker panels and 2/3rds of the bumper. Not even paint shops can tell me the code. the code on the door is 6P7/LF62 (Silver Jade). is the LF62 the other code for the darker tone on the bottom of the car. Has anyone had the same problem, if so, will you please tell me the code for the darker color and where I can get it. Thanks - Very Much Appreciated.

The best thing to do is call Lexus Corporate and give them your VIN number. They'll give you the paint code for the cladding. I had to do this for my 91LS since I had the same problem as you, no one could figure out the code. My cladding ended up being a Toyota color, not a Lexus... I think the LF62 may be your interior color. 6P7 is your primary exterior color (Silver Jade Metallic)...

Check paintscratch.com -- they had an exact match of the darker lower moldings for my pearl white '96.

Edit: quick search there shows the lower color for your car to be UCA77 Beige Metallic Clearcoat.

Did you buy the paint yet? I just found this thread searching around for how to look up color codes for claddings. I am thinking about paintscratch or touchuppaintonline.com since they have it for cheaper. if you got it already, can you please let me know if it matched?

Thanks.
