Ultra Sonic Blue Mica Paint Colour
Hello, I recently purchased a 2017 NX F-sport with the USB colour. I wanted to pick up a touch-up pen/paint from the dealer in case I have stone chips or minor scratches later down road, however 3 local dealers in my area told me Lexus doesn't make a touch up pen/paint for the USB. I found that hard to believe since they offer the USB in the IS, NX, RC. Two dealers told me the USB has unique paint job and process is more complex when painting it at the factory. Apparently Lexus tried to make touch up paint, but past batches of USB touch up paint never came close to the actual paint on the car so they stopped making it.
One of the dealers tried calling their body shop, but they said they have to make a bottle but still won't come close to matching the paint and they currently they don't have any USB in the body shop that needs painting.
Anyone else who owns an USB Lexus IS, NX, RC have this issue in finding touch up paint or my local Lexus dealers just making an excuse??

Never had much luck with paint pens but I ordered online, not an exact match due to the multi-stage paint process but close enough for minor rock chips. If you have a 2017 NX, paint code for USB Mica 2.0 is 8X1, for 2015-16 paint code is 8U1 USB Mica which was slightly different and is a marginally lighter shade of that blue. Google touch up paint for cars, my dealership didn't have it either.

I bought a oem USB touchup paint for my car. Got it in eBay and it was a Lexus dealer that sold it to me...
my car is a 2016 USB. I'm not sure if they have USB 2.0
