Paint matching can be a real challenge. Automakers often offer multiple shades of the same color, and each may have unique formulations—Lexus SC is no exception. No longer is red just red; it could be one of **four different shades or a special tint**, for example. If you're trying to match your car's paint and aren't sure what you're looking at, this guide will help you identify the exact color.
Here’s a handy reference to determine what color your Lexus SC actually is. Don’t worry—you’re not alone in this confusion.
**What Is Your Paint Number?**
To start, you’ll need to locate the paint code on the vehicle’s manufacturer sticker. This sticker is typically found on the driver’s side door jamb, where you’d also find the tire pressure information. The paint number usually starts with "C/TR" followed by three digits (which might include letters), and it corresponds to a specific Toyota color.
**Paint Number & Color Selection Chart**
Once you have the paint code, you can cross-reference it with the following chart to find out the actual color name. Below are the paint codes and corresponding colors for both the 1992–2000 and 2002–2010 model years.
