Title: Paint code for chip repair, where to find?
Post by: Widget on January 29, 2015, 01:09:56 AM

Hey guys,

Have a 2008 GS500, has a couple of chip marks that Im looking to get fixed up, though having trouble finding the colour code. I've checked GS500wiki but that goes to 2006 so Im not sure what 'Blue' it would be.

Any hints on finding a match, & best way to go about repairing ?

Thanks :)

I had trouble getting my local auto parts store to match up paint for me (2006 silver) eventually they tried to custom mix Dupont paint.. and couldnt match that to save their skin.

Finally I picked a 2007 Honda Civic Silver pre-mixed bottle off the shelf and it matched up perfectly..

Might just head to your local auto parts and see if theres a bottle on the shelf that magically works :thumb:
