Is there a way to decode the vin number? i need to get the color code for the car for the touch up paint, im not sure if it's "diamond white pearl" or "opal white pearl" .... or is there an easier way to figure it out?

 

Lexus can look-up the VIN & tell you the colors.
There is also a sticker that tells you the color codes, generally on the driver's door, very low down.
You can also look up the colors & compair.

 

What year is your ES? Chances are it's DWP or 051. But I believe 92-93 ES was Opal White Pearl (046). I have to dig out my old brochures from the past. I know from 94 and on was Diamond White Pearl 051 for sure. Crystal White 062 appeared on 2002 models and newer.

 

i have a 1996. i noticed after making the post that my car was actually repainted, i dont know by who. i bought it used from a dealer (not cpo). the color is slightly different, but not by much. so i dont know, i guess i'll just go with 051. it cant be that different

 

051 is the two-tone silver on the bottom of my black '93.

 

Yes you have 051 aka Diamond White Pearl then.
