Someone told me that Lexus does not put a clear coat on "Black" Lexus. I have a 2004 "Black" LX470. Anyone know if Lexus clear coats the "Black" vehicles like my LX470?

If your paint code is 202, then it is mixed basecoat/clearcoat, unlike most vehicles, which have the clearcoat on top of the basecoat. If there weren't any clearcoat in the paint whatsoever, it would be a dull black.

I think it depends on the year. I know for the GS guys, we didn't get clear coat until 2001+. My car is a 1999 so it doesn't have clear coat.

My 99 black RX also didn't have the clearcoat.

All the new Lexus' should have one now regardless of color.
