Hey all,
So as some CL members might know, Im in the middle of completely redoing my car, including repainting my car w/ the new body kit installed. I plan on painting the car blue, as close to the IS-F blue as I can possibly get. What I wanted to know is if the IS-F Blue color is available right now and if so, what is the paint code? If its not available right now, what specific paint color do you think would closely match it? Any and all help would be appreciated.

 

No paint code yet (at least none that I am aware of).

I does have similarities to Scion tC's Nautical Blue, just more metallic/mica. Perhaps you can use Nautical Blue with a metallic top coat?

 

yea that might work because i was looking for something that had a little more metallic/pearl to it so it hides swirls and scratches better ya know?

 

The paint code is not available yet unfortunately. You should take a look at PPG or BASF's color books to find a blue that is close. There is nothing in the Toyota line up that is similar. Speedway Blue from the Tacoma comes to mind but Ultrasonic Blue is a deeper and richer blue in comparison.

 

I think its the same as my 2002 IS300...Intensa BLue

 

No way... the IS-F blue is much more vibrant and intense.

In the shade it has a subtle purple cast to it.

It's 10x better in person than in photos.

Lexus probably hasn't announced the color code yet because
they don't want a bunch of people painting their old ragged-out
old Civics that color before the car is launched. I don't blame them.

 

I agree the Intensa blue is not even close to the IS-F Blue. Im guessin we're just going to have to match as good as we can.
