Default Paint Experts Please Help !

Hey Guys,

So I talked to a buddy of mine who works at the body shop about getting a lip kit painted 1G0 "Smoky Granite Mica" He then comes back and tells me that Toyota/Lexus colors are little tricky to mix so then he gave me this list of which variations to choose from



which one from this list should I choose? I want something that would match as closely as possible

any inputs would help !

UH, first thing you need to do is find another paint shop.

The list he's showing youis what they have mixed for other peoples cars based on their paint shade variation.... so unless yours has been next to one of those other cars, it's entire life, it won't match. He should start with the base formulation (if your car has been garaged, never seen sun, snow, or rain, it will match) otherwise, if it "too" different, he is going to have to mix something else for you based on your specfic paint color matching requirements.

And the next time someone looks at that list it will be one longer...

yeah I think he might of been showing me these for an example, he said he had a chip book and I could take a look at it and choose then he was going to take a look at my car as well before mixing the paint.
