Question Cladding paint code or color


I cannot for the life of me (even after giving Lexus customer support my VIN) find out what color my front bumper cover is.
I have the 2000 RX300 with the 057 paint code on the door sticker. Which I belive is called "pearl white"
The cladding appears gold to me. but the UCAA6 customer support guessed it was, does not match.
Anyone know exactly what this bottom color is??

Default Cladding Color

Did you ever find out what the cladding color and code is of the 057 primary paint? Thanks. Karl

I found mine by calling the Local Lexus part and the the part person had to work for it ... not easy thing to find. I will check thorough my papers and update if I find it.

Are you trying to fix a scratch or paint the whole surface. For paint I would suggest let the shop custom match to your other cladding (specially the one right next to it). The original formulation has a batch to batch variation as well as the paint fades over time.

My '99 looks just like yours, same color on top with the golden cladding on the bottom rather than the greenish color. My color is called Golden Pearl 057. (I don't know why golden is in the name; it's just an off white/cream color, as you know!)The cladding is UCAA6, Silver Metallic. Touch-up bottle part number is 00258-UCAA6-21. I feel your pain -- it took me MONTHS to find these names and codes!!

Mine says golden pearl on the window sticker - maybe there was another color, also?

And you are right. I stand corrected.

Well, even a broken clock is right twice a day!
You are the expert here, Salim, and I always rely on your tips and advice. I just got lucky this time by having the window sticker buried in a folder. Have a great day!

If you go to your local autobody paint store they can look up your color code and will get a corresponding cladding color from your listed color code.
