Denise Luize Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Hi All, I am a first time Lexus owner - 2013 RX350 w/75k. Starfire Pearl paint. Purchased last month @ a Lexus dlrshp. There were a few tiny spots of white touch paint up on the hood noticed @ purchase. With all the rain, that white touch up paint has washed off. Was it White Out?!!! With the touch up paint gone, I can see a lot more of these little chips in the paint. I am concerned. Is it the Starfire Paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RX400h Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Hi, Denise. Most likely those are from pebble damage, which is common to pretty much every vehicle. Our RX has more than a few. It happens more often when the vehicle is driven on the highway for many miles. The likely scenario is that someone did not adequately remove any residual wax/dirt before applying the touchup paint. You can have a detailing shop fill the chip voids in a more professional manner. Or you can leave them, as-is if they don't bother you too much.
