FYI , lexus 083,,, come in two bottle ,one is 083 BC (this is the white base ) and the 083 ( this the metalic coat,) for some reason this is not clear, so when paint over the 083BC it turn a yellow white ,, not white anymore,, so this would never ever match the original paint color with the metalic , since it not clear with metalic

Below are the bottles I have. 083 is for ultra white F-sport only. 083-BC gets applied after I believe. It's two stage. Ignore the 212 bottle, that's black paint for the gloss black rims.

the 083 is the metallic, but it have a yellowish to it, not clear, so it will not match with the original paint,,, i have left my car outside for days and still it does not match.(for sun, rain , etc)

It's the F-Sport Ultra White. It's straight from the dealership.
