LS400 MK3 Silver - Number of Variations

[lockeyboy]

Hi All

 

Would anyone know, or know where I can find the different variations of silver used?

I've seen a possible door for mine, but the seller lives a fair distance away, and doesnt have the VIN (which I think indicates the colour used?)

  My own book only lists my car as being Silver (upon sale) Was it possible that only one silver was made?

............  my aspen green is just about an official Lexus silver colour !

Hi ,  The colour code is stamped on the small plate next to the RH front strut

mounting under the bonnet. Bottom line, 1st 3 digits, mine is 1CO., but mines a 2000 model.

Hope this helps.         Les.

Mark,

There were several silver variations for that series 2 1997 model.

The colour code is universal and when identified as a match is easy to order. 

There are paint companies who can identify the colour from a chip of the paint.

Ask your seller to get a chip  of paint off the door inside the rubber seal where the sealant as been applied between panel joints and send that off to a paint company that can identify it.

Use the subject of an order for scratch touch up, then you have a touch up paint for the car.

.......  paint matching ......  recently I took a chip of my front door paint to Johnstone's  for matching  ..............  I live in a Conservation Area and obliged to repaint the same colour etc. without Planning Permission for a change.

It's easy peasy, they have a simple electronic gadget that reads the base colours of the paint  in the sample and mix base colours to exact spec. ...  that's for wooden front doors though !
