My 2001 LS 430 with the Pearl white color has a few scrapes on the lower
front bumper. High curbs got me. Rather minor but I want to touch it up.
Paint source??? Anyone in this area (DFW) that does EXCELLENT touch up work
for minor scratches and paint dings??

Thanks for any suggestions,

Bill

Your local Lexus dealer should have touch up paint available. Some auto
parts stores may have Dupli-Color touch up paint available. The color code
is on the VIN label on either the driver's door or driver's door frame. You
will see the notation "clr/tr 0_/____" The 3-digit color code is what you
will need, I believe the first digit of the color code should be "0"

Another possibility is to take it to a body shop - a well-equipped body shop
should be able to scan the paint and come up with a match. Ask your local
Lexus dealer service department for a recommendation.
