Default Briarwood touch up paint

my LS is a 2005 in Briarwood, a color that was NOT sold in Canada .... where I live.
When I was in Florida with the car last month, none of the 3 Lexus dealers I visited had any touch up paint in stock. ( Wanted the small unit with liquid and the little paint brush )

Anyone know where I can buy this ? As far as I know its OK to ship liquid paint by regular mail, but NOT OK to ship spray cans.

Just registered at Sewell Lexus, and they didnt have it listed.

im sure you can order it from any dealer , if not you can go to Cawthra Automotive and give them your paint code, they can give you raw base coat form, a single stage in a spray can, or the touch up markers.

Im heading there soon I need to do some touch ups to my rear bumper

Because its not a color sold here, I didn't think of asking a Canadian dealer. I might as well.

Just in case, how do I find the paint code for the car ?

you can find it on your door , but it can be hard if you don't know what to look for , so best bet is call the dealer and give them your vin#

I would be very surprised if they couldn't order the touch up paint for you , even for my metallic beige they didn't have it in stock but they told me they could order it

On the driver's door frame (towards the rear of the car), you will see a VIN placard - black with white letters.
The second line from the bottom (just under the bar code) begins with "C/TR:" This gives the exterior color/interior trim codes. Exterior color is before the slash, and interior trim color is after it.

Thank you both.
As soon as it warms up here, I will be touching up 8 years of stone chips !
