Wheel Paint Color?
Hi -
I was hoping someone could tell me the paint color/brand that is the best match for the stock "silver" wheel rims (I gather it is top coated with clear) ? One of my SC430 rims is a little rashed and I would like to finish it off after dremeling/fillling the surfaces.
Thanks!

i had the same question a couple of years ago. i had a mobile guy come to my house and refinish my wheels. i asked about the color and he said that he found that mercedes silver matches the best and then he used a really expensive clear that could withstand high temperatures because of the friction of the brakes and the heat it creates. you should be able to go to a local paint shop for the supplies.

I have looked and never found the silver paint for the RX wheels - mine have some scratches and lug removal spin marks inside the lug wells. I don't think, since I last looked a couple years ago, that Lexus sells such touch-up paint for the wheels as it does for the body colors, does it? Why not? Hundreds of thousands of Rx's x4 wheels, 5 if one counts the spare, is a lot of wheels to touch up.
