Paint Colour Reference

[Keith Bowler]

Hello

Can someone tell me which numbers give me the paint colour code on my 1995 Mk1 GS300.

My local Lexus dealer tells me that it is the bottom set of digits and letters on the vin plate, but the paint factor I went to said that there were too many numbers and letters.

Can anyone assist.

By the way the car is a dark navy blue colour.

Chris

can you provide all the colour combinations please?

I will then make these a sticky topic for the top of the GS forum - just like Mat did here with the IS paint codes

There's just too many to list Matt + I don't have all the specific names to hand

Dont suppose anyone can tell me what the name of my colour is. Its dark Mettalic green and a first gen GS 300. The VIN plate has fell off mine. Mind you, im lucky thats all thats fell off judging by the Bodgit and scarper type repairs it had when I bought it. Not complaining though. I knew about its past and its 99.9 % sorted now. :P

The last two rows of numbers/letters on the vin plate are:-

JZS147-R-BEPQFW

8J5LJ10A6AA343E

Having looked at Autovisuals website I think the colour code may be 8J5 which is listed as Midnight Indigo Pearl. Seems to be 99% right, but I am not sure about the 'pearl' reference as the colour looks like a solid colour and does not appear metallic or pearlescent.

Any further help would be appreciated.
