I am looking for the paint code for my 2008 RX to order some touch up paint. I was told to look inside the driver's door but could not find anything that looks like the paint code. I looked on the window sticker and it only gives the color, which is Crystal White, any ideas where to look?

 

I think all RX's come with touch up paint. Thats the case in Australia anyway. Mine was in the glovebox when I bought the car.

 

Try this site:

your exterior and interior colors are also on the door jamb inside the driver door. but you may not recognize them unless you know what you are looking for. they are 3 digits (can be a combo of letters and numbers, but some colors are all numbers)

p.s. i also highly suggest the autovisuals pen. they are much easier to use compared to the old paintbrush method.

 

I have looked, but I guess I do not know what I am looking at or for. I will relook tonight.

I am thinking about this process for the touch up, has anyone used them?

Dr. ColorChip Corp.

On their webpage the chip just about disappears and seems easy enough to use I plan on ordering just as soon as I can figure out what the code is.

 

the color code is 062 (zero, not "O") for Crystal White.

here is a pic of the door jamb label, it just happens to be crystal white as well. you can confirm yours, just look for C/TR



i have not used the dr. color chip method, but it looks similar to the langka paint chip kit. it comes with a step by step method of smoothing out touch up jobs. i only used it once when i had a scratch on a black car that looked like someone keyed it. for little rock chips though, the touch up pen is more than adequate and you don't really need the blending kit unless it's a really large chip.

 

or u can call the deealer...and i think they can tell u based on the VIN #

 

That's a nice touch. I wish they would be as considerate here in the States. You can always use a touch up.

What will happen to our ladies when they can not do a touch up? Can you imagine?

 

There's another good link here that will list all possible paint colours and codes for Lexus models -

Funny how my colour, 8R7, is called "Magnetic Blue" here in Australia, but in the US it's "Neptune Blue" .

 

Thanks, I have looked at the tag and never figured it out, I just did not know what I was looking for !

Also thanks to everyone that has posted, this is what makes the forum great!
