Default OEM wheel touch up paint?

Hi, I'm new to the site and was wondering if someone might know what paint to use for touching up OEM wheels? I have an '07 IS350 X pkg., so the wheels are the 5-spoke style and I think the color is called "liquid graphite".

Thanks, Dave

I thought liquid graphite was only on 2008 and up wheels. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. But I have an 07 IS350 and I used touch up paint for my car, which is tungsten pearl. It's a really close match and works well.

So you're saying that you used "tungsten pearl" touch-up paint, which is the color of your car, to touch-up the "X" pkg. wheels on your car and it matches? Thanks for your help.

Did you try this and confirm it works? I have a 2008 with x-package and am also looking for touch up paint for the wheels.

The "normal" wheels changed to Liquid Graphite in 2008, but the X-Package wheels were always Liquid Graphite.

Just did a search because I had the same question. Found this old thread but no one ever gave a straight answer. Does Lexus have touch up paint avalible in wheel colors?

I am searching for an answer to the same quandary although my model and wheels are for a 2004 LS430...all is stock OEM. I'm sure there's an answer in here somewhere but I can't seem to find.
