Lexus 1C0 and toyota 1C0 paint code question
Does anybody who has autobody and paint knowledge know if the lexus 1C0 (millenium silver metallic) is slightly different in looks then the toyota 1C0? I heard there are different shades and different formula mix to them. I would really like to know because the paint guy at this shop cannot get the match correctly. He first thought I had a toyota, so he went with the toyota 1C0 mix formula.
The results came out like a slight greenish tint to it. I told him " are you mixing this by the lexus year and make?" His reply was "oh, I thought all this time it was a toyota"
Now he is saying the lexus 1C0 is a different mix formula. Man, this sucks!! I had painted a few panel three fricken times because of all this. The only compensation that I'm getting is a free quart of paint. Can someone please tell me the location of the color panel codes? I know the door area color code, but would like to know if there is a color codes for each panels for a 2002 lexus sc430. Please help!!

Your painter screwed up & did not use the 1C0.....Complain!
Check with your Lexus dealer to verify how many years was the 1C0 used for the SC430 model.
