Lexus paint codes are located on the driver side door jamb. The paint codes are all three digits long and can contain both letters and numbers. The codes are on the Lexus sticker after the “C/TR” indication. The first three characters are the exterior color and the four after the slash are the trim colors.

The only way to to be sure there's a lexus purple colour that's Starfire purple or something it is a rare but nice colour good luc matching it if you have to paint the bumpers

Jdanielca, thank you for sharing that very important information.
looking to buy this low mileage unit (56k miles). Everything checks out ok, only some vibrations on the front end which I think is due to bent wheels. No sound from the front end.
