I'm not sure how Lexus does theirs (maybe from factory), but I did mine at a local mechanic who had a body shop for $10 a piece. They had the paint they used for painting other Acuras. They painted a total of 4 coats. I'm not sure what they are but they've sticked up to now. I don't think you can go wrong with $40. I think it makes a big difference in the looks.
