Default sc430 twilight amethyst pearl paint code

twilight amethyst pearl 3P6 is the color code for my Lexus. I've been trying to find touch up paint for it but was told by dealer it's been discontinued and no other Lexus use this color.

Is there another car that use this color? I've seen another car in similar purple but I can't recall the maker.

Pls help!!

I had the same issue trying to find Black Sapphire Pearl for my '08 SC430 (8U0). Some of the Lexus colors are difficult to get locally, but most of your local car painters/body shops can mix up a batch of paint for you in any color you want, but it can be pretty expensive for a small batch. Another alternative is to find one online. There are many companies that specialize in small batches of touch-up paint ....just Google "touch-up paint", or got to Amazon.com....they have some as well.

I got mine from Dr. Colorchip....relatively reasonably priced, and it's a great system. They ship fast, and the color match was perfect. Easy to use, and if you do it right, the repairs are virtually invisible.

Good luck...

3P6 is right. You can try a Toyota dealership and see if they have it under its new name - Midnight Red. Just make sure it also says 3P6. I bought my touch up paint bottle 4 or 5 months back and I think mine was one of 4 available in the country at that time.
