Hi, I have a couple of questions regarding the color code for the Lexus ES 2019 alloy rims: 1) Is there any other Lexus sedan or SUV model using the same color for the rims? 2) What is the color code for the rim paint? I checked a few websites and found a color code called Phantom Grey Pearl 1E3, but I am not sure if this is the correct color code for my rims or whether this is for older rims.

Thanks in advance for the inputs!

1E3 is a pretty close match for the 19" FSport wheels but they are much darker than your standard wheels.

Hi mikemu, could you kindly post a photo of your rim?

Here you go

Thanks mikemu. It's confirmed that the 1E3 is not the right color code for my rims. I am at a lost on how to find the right color code. Not much info available on the net.

I needed this information for a Honda Accord and went to a local wheel repair facility. They had the color and code. I then had a friend who owned a body shop make me a jar full...
I have the same wheels as you and I'm not sure as an amateur you can easily repair them with paint.

There are plenty of services specializing in wheel repair these days and some are mobile. I recently had a bad scuff on mine but the 1E3 pretty much made it invisible

What did you do to your rim, and how bad is it?

We had a RC F Sport and the rim got scratched up. Fortunately, we have a friend at the MB dealer and he took care of it for low cash.

Yes they do have a listing for almost every wheel, especially OEM stuff.

One of my ES rims received a nick probably from a stone, and the base layer is exposed. It is not serious but it can be easily covered by a paint layer. If I could get the correct paint code, this is something I could do myself.

On my 2019 ES-350 F-Sport, I had something nick my wheel right where the rim meets the tire on the Florida Turnpike and I touched it up with 1E3 and the color was spot on. Took two coats.

Can still see the indentation from whatever hit the rim but the color matches.

I found an ebay seller (DaytonaToyota) selling a full range of original Toyota/Lexus touch up paints. Here's a list of their silver paints:

1D7 SHADOW PEARL SILVER
1E7 SILVER STREAK
1D4 Titanium Silver
1F0 SILVER PINE METALLIC
1K0 SILVER KNOCKOUT METALLIC
1C8 SILVER METALLIC
1G6 Silver Fresco
1D6 Silver Sky Metallic
1F7 Classic Silver Metallic
1E3 PHANTOM GRAY

The 1E3 Phantom Gray is a match for the F-sport rims, as confirmed by some of you already. However, for my ES rims, I wonder if the 1D4, 1D7 or 1E7 might match? I am waiting for a reply from Daytona Toyota, hopefully they have an answer.

Well, I got a reply from Lexus North Scottsdale and Daytona and both said that "The wheels do not have color codes on them. Only the body of the vehicle has a paint code". I just have to find the nearest color code for the rim.

I thought that might be the case as I searched for the FSport wheel paint and found nothing online as well. Luckily I found a match that is almost perfect.

Drcolorchip Australia was nice enough to pay a visit to their local Lexus and do a color matching of the rim. The original 1D7 looks bluer compared to the rim color. The original 1D7 without the violet was a good match.

I have exactly same rims and also same issue. Post here once you find the solution!
