Yes, it had to be ordered at the dealership because Molten Pearl is a very rare color. I had documented all of the process of me doing touch up paint on my car and making them invisible. Read this thread before you try to do touch up paint. It takes effort, but the results now look perfect after many months. You cannot notice anything unless you get very close.

It is easy to do if you are careful and very methodical. It is not bad at all. Trust me, body shop will charge you quite a bit. Although, you can try the dealership since my dealership actually offered to do the touch up, but I chose to do it myself because I did not want just a paint blob since Molten Pearl can make it look very obvious. If you want that perfect finish, gloss and look so that it becomes invisible, you can follow the steps I put in my thread. I can answer any questions you may have.

You can get a 2oz can of Lava Orange Pearl (Paint code 4W7) for touch up purposes from automotivetouchup for $26. I too have some rock chips and while at the dealership the other week I asked about cost of fixing and they do something along the lines of "blending" for $150. Not sure if that is Lexus wide or just at my dealership in DFW.
