I just bought a 2001 LS430 base over the weekend. I'm doing some paint correction etc. Paint code is 6S6 "Midnight Pine".

As far as I can tell, the OEM touch up is discontinued, so I have to go aftermarket matched touch up. Are there any brands that match closer than others, or is it all a crap shoot?

My first inclination is to go with a brand that sells both touch up and spray paint off Ebay, like ERA, so that if I have to spray color later at least I'm matching touch up and spray.

I have used touch up paint from RobertsPaintCare.com. I have found their products decent. I'm in Toronto, believe they ship from Montreal. I have a 2002 LS 430.
Hope this helps too

Thank you for the suggestion.

I bought the OEM bottle and got a message that the item was on order from Lexus Parts Center, so I may have to look for an alternative.

Always try out first on a small area just to be on the safe side. Good luck to you!
