Wine Red Mica is Lexus paint code 3J8. Lexus used 3J8 on the GS300, Lexus from 1991 to 2001. Wine Red Mica is sold as Prussian Red Pearl in other markets. Of the 73 Lexus red colours ordered from us, 34 have been ordered more often than Wine Red Mica.
The kit is mixed to the 3J8 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.
