Newbie Help --- Colour Code For Car

[chrisnasah]

Hello all,

Newbie here, great forum. Am a new proud owner of a lexus is 200 which is a silver colour (close). I have just bought spoiler and will be painting it from a spray paint from Halfords.

They need the colour code for the car. Now where can i get that from??? Can anyone suggest pls.

Welcome to LOC :)

If its the same colour as mine below, the code is 1C0. Cans can be bought from the dealer.

Do you mean buying from the Toyota/Lexus???? How much do they charge? roughly. I know Halfords charge aroung £9 for a spray can, which might be enough for what i want to do. I just want to spray the new lip spoiler. Coulor seems to be the same but would like to make doubly sure. Is there anyway from the car i can find out.

Open the bonnet, look at the back of the engine bay on the firewall you'll find the Vin plate, the paint code will be on there.

Thinking about it Lexus only do small spray cans for touchup jobs, around £13 each with a tin of laquer.

The problem with the silver is it is metalic and is a bugger to get the same colour match, might be best leaving it to a decent spray shop. Might be worth it in the long run.
