Default Need help with paint....

I have a 99 Rx300 and want to know the color code 057 (Golden Pearl) is the same with white pearl?

I got the code 057 from the driver's door sticker.

I'm gettin a rear spoiler and my car color is white pearl. Wonder if 057 is the same with white pearl?

Thanks.

If the door sticker indicates 057, it's golden pearl ...

(Regarding this attachment, where the chart is grayed indicates a valid color for the model)

That link takes you to a pic captioned "Golden Pearl", but the RX shown is one of the shades of silver/grey. Note the lower panel color is grey, while on the "Golden Pearl" body color, the trim should be a slightly greenish warm grey. Note too that the taillights and spoiler are those of a '01 - '03 RX 300. The picture is badly mis-identified both for year and color.

'99 and '00 RX 300's were available in Golden Pearl. Later models that were "white" were a totally different color, a whiter white without the slight "cream" tinge that characterized the earlier model. Also, the later model RX no longer had the "pearlescent" finish of the Golden Pearl color.
