What Colour Is My Car

[SwampDonkey]

Hi All,

I'm after a pair of the wing mirror covers with the indicator built in for my 2003 IS300 SportX but we're having a bit of trouble with selecting the colour for painting them.

The car is a dark blue metallic that I thought was called Strathcaron Blue (paint code 8N8) but the vendor of the covers isn't recognising that as an official Lexus colour.

It sounds like I've got something wrong. Bearing that in mind, what colour is my car likely to be?

Ask them to search for it as a Toyota colour, because I think that's what it is (not sure tho )

No, I'm not certain. It was advertised as Strathcaron Blue by my local Lexus dealer when I bought it but that doesn't necessarily mean much. Is there anywhere I can check on the car that would reveal the info I need?

It should be on the receipt when you bought the car. Mine is Strathcaron Blue as well, but on the receipt it says 'Oasis Blue - 8N8' (which is the Toyota Colour)

Your paint code is on the VIN plate under the bonnet - right under the windscreen.

It will say either 8M6 or 8N8 somewhere on it.

Don't forget Montrose Blue, introduced on the IS very late 2003.

allways use the code and not the colours name, as the name will vary from country to country :)

That's an excellent point.

I checked on the VIN plate earlier and the code is 8N8. Have passed the info along so hopefully we can start to make some progress now. Looking forward to getting these new covers. People don't seem to be able to make out the indicators at night.

Thanks for your help everyone.
