Touch up paint advice

[91looking]

Looking for advice about the best place to buy Lexus touch up paint from and also where do I find my car's paint code (silver IS300h) or does anybody happen to know it anyway?

Best place is Lexus themselves, it’s one of the few places that stocks it.
Paint code will be on the chassis plate, on the left hand side B pillar, the code will be the bottom line if I remember

If you need an alternative, I've used paints4u many times including for Lexus, Mazda, Jaguar and Landrover, and always found them to be excellent.

I used touch spray from Halfords for 3 different cars and returned all tins due to mismatch, so wouldn't recommend them if the thought had occurred.  I suppose they might get it right in some cases.

This may help confirm the vehicle tag details.

A little concerning that one of the colours available was “Atomic Silver” a few years after the nuclear power station incident in Japan!

What's the B pillar? I've found the VIN number on the bottom right of the windscreen but I can't see any paint code there.

Halfords did cross my mind so thanks for that!

I think mine is 'silver lining met' but a google search of those different silvers doesn't bring up many results. Are those the official colour names?

Actually I ended up finding it and the code is 1J4
