Does anyone have a PN for touch up paint for the '19 ES 350 FSport wheels - The "steel" gray color

I searched and Lexus doesn't seem to make it. My buddy had some Acura touch up and it was almost a perfect match.

Any chance he can pass along the PN.
That's what I did with my old ES, I found a Honda color that matched

I found that Toyota 1E3 - Phantom Grey Pearl is almost a perfect match.

Good to know. For small nicks, you'll barely notice it after the touchup.

Here's how it turned out.
I used a vibratory tool to sand down the rough areas
The paint is Duplicolor Toyota 1E3 -- Phantom Gray Pearl - as suggested by a couple of posters.

Worked OK for a small area. If the area was bigger I would use my wheel & tire coverage to paint the wheel.
BTW, for anyone curious, it costs about $150 to get a wheel painted

The wheel looks great but also looks like you took a chunk of rubber off the sidewall.

The tire lost a chunk of rub strip, no loss of sidewall integrity

good to hear. I think I'll order the phamtom grey just to have on hand for the next wheel rash.

For my car I'd get it professionally restored. I had it done on my '13 and the repair was invisible... Sanded, buffed, primered, painted...

I've gone that route and agree, but I'm not going to bother with something this small

Agree cause the day after you have the repair, the next one will appear.
