Flint Mica is like a dark charcoal. I believe this color was available in the LS430. It's on the color chart for 2001-2006

Ruby Red looks better than Matador Red on the ES350, & I am sure it will for the GS and LS too.

I really like the Matador Red paint itself, but it's really more suitable for sports/sporty cars.

They seem to be switching to Matador Red overall, they even had it for the final RX 400h production year (I saw one in person, very loud!). Interestingly, it is offered on the 3RX and a number of commenters, including myself, have found that it works very well on that model (despite its similarities to the prior gen). I think the Matador Red could look good on the LS 460...460 L though might seem too loud, given how the car's size already adds to its presence.

Looks like there is a new exclusive color for the LS600h: Blue Harbor Metallic (8V4)

2011 information was just released by Toyota and all colors remain the same except for the discontinuation of Truffle Mica from both the LS460 and LS600h.

Just added electric motor info to the chart.

The electric motor on the LS600h is the 1KM.

Also, the chassis codes were incorrect on the AWD models and are now correct.

Added a new "The Hard Way" ad where they hang four other Lexus cars from an LS and park an LF-A underneath them. Also uploaded the behind the scene commercial for it.

Default where to find spray paint match for 4U7/Cashmere?

So glad to find this forum! I'm having a heck of a time finding a paint that matches this code (i.e., in Dupli Color). This is for painting a front license plate kit that we could only find in white and I hate how it looks. Would just like to paint it in a matching color; want spray paint, not touch up pen/brush. Your advice is appreciated

My touchup paint supplier can fill orders for spray paint. Hit this page and scroll down to the bottom of the photo gallery until you see the ORDER "4U7" TOUCHUP PAINT link:
