Default SC430 Paint Code Discussion



Here is the chart of color for the US-Spec SC430. If you see an error please post it here and I will correct the page and graphic ASAP. You can upload a photo of your car by clicking on the graphic, then clicking on the appropriate camera icon next to your color.

If you need me to update the chart please post your model year (or production date), color code and a description or photo of your car. For now this is for US-Spec cars only, I will add other countries in the future.

Nice. Also keep in mind that if you are ordering paint that the VIN will be needed as well as several colors have different tints. My ICO for example has 3 different tints to that color depending on the VIN. I bought some paint yesterday as I am painting my new spoiler.

I found the paint code for BLack Diamond (211) but can;t seem to find it for Azure Pearl in 2004. Does anyone have that paint code?

Well, the Scion tC has Azure Pearl and photos seem to match... so I am going to guess it is the same color code: 8Q6. It would be nice to have this verified.

spinout180:

Your paint codes for the 2004 and 2005 "Pebble Beach Edition" are confirmed as "Azure Pearl" 8Q6 and "Black Diamond" 211, respectively. The middle character in the 2004 PBE is "Q" as in QUEEN.

Thank you for your contribution.

Thanks for the confirmation. I also am looking for the paint information for the 2002 Neiman Marcus Edition SC430 -- if it was a Lexus produced vehicle (and not a stock SC modified by NM).

Nope, they have a purplish sheen to them... not MSM.

Lexus manufactured only 100 Neiman-Marcus Special Edition SC 430 models. Exterior paint: "Silver Belle" ; paint code unknown. However, this edition was NOT IDENTICAL to either "Millennium Silver Metallic" (2002-05 SC) or its current 2006 successor: "Mercury Metallic"..

The N-M Christmas edition leather interior is described as "Candy Cane Red". I notice that another recent thread specifically mentions the Neiman Marcus edition with photos included. The thread, by "2SAVVY", is entitled "Neiman-Marcus Edition SC 430 Pictures".

I recommend that the first post by "spinout180" with the exterior color graph be included as a "STICKY".. It's both comprehensive and informative.


Happy New Year, guys!

From going to the lexus.jp website i think the color code is 1F1 and the color is still available in japan. Also according to the 06 SC brochure TigerEye Mica will become a regular production color.
