Does anyone know if the OEM optioned 2016+ orange calipers are actually the same color/paint code as Molten Pearl ?

I have a 2015 Molten Pearl and found a local shop to paint my calipers. They said they can use my VIN to get my paint code and match my calipers, but I want them to look as OEM as possible and wasn't sure if the OEM orange calipers was a different shade of orange than Molten Pearl....

If the color is different than Molten Pearl, does anyone know how I can get the paint code?

Unfortunately the molten pearl & caliper colors are different.I've tried to get in contact with a decent amount of dealers and they all won't give me the paint code for the calipers. I've been looking for touch up for a couple months now and still haven't been able to find a match.

Yea, I was thinking it was a slightly different orange. The OEM calipers look to have a hint more gold in them...

Anyone ever done their calipers in Molten Pearl? I would imagine it would look okay, as it would match the car. But I do want it to also look OEM.

^^^ Thanks for the info !


Just want to confirm tho, this is the color used on the OEM optioned calipers for 2016+?
Reason I ask is because the thread is from 2015, before Lexus started offering the orange calipers.

Not a RCF but did mine in VHT Flameproof Flat Orange then added VHT Flameproof Clear. Not quite the OEM Lexus Orange but close.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but just to dispel any myths about the Orange F calipers found on RC F and GS F, confirming this with my Lexus factory contact, all special Lexus paint caliper colors are proprietary, hence there are no color codes available for any of the paint codes listed anywhere or in the factory service manual. You can try to get them color matched closely, but you will never find an exact code for these.

Also 9K5 Orange from LFA is a lot more lighter and yellow than the calipers on F. If you've ever seen this color in person, it's not Orange like pictures depict it.

Crazy that Lexus would care that much to make the color proprietary. I mean, why hide it? Some enthusiasts just want to know the colors for no reason but out of curiosity. Gives them a greater connection to the product.

Hi how much did it cost you to paint them? Also I feel yours is the most color accurate on this thread.
