Tips for finding matches for uncommon Automotive Colours?
Posted by Marshall on Tuesday, July 23, 2024 1:19 PM

Currently working on a replica of a 1983 Monte Carlo that is owned by a member of my family. The car is painted Lexus Tigereye (4T2), which is not available ready to spray on a model. Does anyone have any ideas on what colours shoud be mixed in what parts to get this colour? Thanks in advance!!

Lexus uses a two step system in their paint, which is normal these days. You will need a base coat 4T2 and it will paint dull or flat. This will be followed by a clear like 2K clear. This is the only way the paint will look correct.

You can find this from many sellers online by searching Lexus spray paint 4T2. Parts houses like Autozone can order paints also.

If you want to Airbrush the paint you can order the correct colors and clear from source like Scalefinishes.com and others.
