LexusBlue Mica MetallicTouch Up Paint — Paint Code 8L5
Blue Mica Metallic is Lexus paint code 8L5. Lexus used 8L5 on the GS300, IS200, ES300, LS400 from 1996 to 2001. 8L5 is a metallic, high gloss finish. Blue Mica Metallic is sold as Reflex Blue Mica and Royal Sapphire Pearl in other markets. Of the 146 Lexus blue colours ordered from us, 33 have been ordered more often than Blue Mica Metallic.
The kit is mixed to the 8L5 formula — the same code printed on your vehicle’s paint label — not colour-matched by eye. On panels that still carry their factory paint, that reproduces the original tone.
Where it will not match
Panels bleached by years of sun sit lighter than the factory formula. The kit reproduces the original colour, not the faded one.
A panel that has already been resprayed is no longer the factory colour, so the code will not describe it.
Metallic and pearl finishes are harder to blend across a large area than solid colours — they are at their best on chips and thin scratches.
Damage larger than a few centimetres, or down to bare metal over a wide area, is body-shop work.
