Does any know where I can find touch up paint for a 2015 GX460? I use the buy from Dupli-Color but they done seem to carry that color anymore.

4U7 Satin Cashmere Metallic

Thanks

 

You can try Touch Up Direct

That's where I got the touch up paint for my Nightfall Mica.

 

Was it a good match or still noticeable?

 

The spot I had to cover was on the very edge of the wheel well, and it blended pretty well. I haven't needed to do a spot in a "more visible" area, but I think it would be ok.

A fair amount of lexus colors are applied in stages, so you have to apply a base, top, and clear coat for them to really match. So for certain colors applying an all in one color won't ever look right.

 

That's how the one I got from Touch Up Direct was. Base color, top color, and clear coat. I had a chip down to bare metal, so I also used a rust neutralizer/preventer before the base.

 

Agree. I was planning on getting a primer, basecoat and clearcoat to get the job done right!

 

That is the case for Starfire Pearl touch up from https://www.automotivetouchup.com/

You get three bottles: Base coat, pearl coat and clear coat.

 

When I did the touchups I skipped the primer and clear coat as someone on CL said it wasn't needed. Well I regret doing that as I worked pretty hard to blend the work with multiple sanding steps (hole punch, sand paper, super glue, glued sandpaper on pencil eraser) and the paint isn't holding up. It really needed a clear coat to protect the paint imho...so word of advice don't skip the clear coat. I would also be curious about scratches/scuffs down to bare (black) plastic or metal. I didn't apply a primer on the bumper repairs and I I don't think the basecoat is meant to be applied directly to bare plastic.

 

Wrap it! You'll save some cash!

 

Just get the touch up pen from the dealership. It’s like $14
