Default Part # for touch-up paint?

Hi all!

New GS450h owner here --- transplanted over from the ES300h. You guys are right. The GS is a totally different machine.... vastly upscaled from the ES in every possible way!
Not sure what's going to happen after they discontinue the 4th gen GS...... are we all going to have to resort to the new ES????

Anyway..... Was hoping to see if someone can help me with the part # for the Riviera Red (S38) Lexus touch-up paint. Tried researching but came out empty handed.

Thanks in advance!

Not sure on your part # but I gotta chime in and say if your doing regular touch up, I'd highly recommend Dr. Colorchip. Its a little expensive but worth every penny if you ask me. Used it on my GS and its my go to for every vehicle moving forward.

Congrats on your move to the GS!

I believe the color code for Riviera Red is actually 3S8, rather than S38. The part number should be 00258-3S8-21 if I am not mistaken.

Riviera Red is not S38 - Riviera Red is 3S8. Maybe that is why your researching has come up empty.

Try these folks: https://www.automotivetouchup.com/touch_up_paint.asp

Their paint in bottle is great. It's a decent quantity too, so it won't dry out.
For little spots, it works fine without the clear coat.
