Matte Grey is Lexus paint code 1G3. Lexus used 1G3 on the ES300 from 2006 to 2026. 1G3 is a solid, matte finish. Of the 105 Lexus grey colours ordered from us, 3 have been ordered more often than Matte Grey.
The kit is mixed to the 1G3 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.
