It is can be one of 4 different shades or a special tint, for example. Here is a handy guide to determine what color you really have.
What is the exact color of this Lexus SC? Don’t know? You’re not alone, here is a handy guide to figure it out.
What Is Your Paint Number?
In order to determine what color you are dealing with, you will need to find the color number located on the manufacture sticker. This sticker is located on the door jamb and is commonly known as the place to find tire pressure information — your color is located here as well.
The paint number begins with the words “C/TR” and is followed by three digits that may/may not include letters. This code correlates to a Toyota-specific color.
