Default 2008 IS250 Wheel Color Match?

Has anyone purchased any paint that matches the OEM 08 IS250 wheels? I seen threads where people have said the color is BASF# 753079 or "liquid graphite." I want to fix the rashes on my wheels and match the paint as closely as I can. I tired searching the code online but it just leads me back to old CL threads.

Are you looking for touch up paint? I would inquire at a dealership with an in-house collision center, otherwise some body shops may be able and willing to match the color reasonably close and and mix some up for you.

There is touch up paint for wheels? I needs the paint to paint over the bondo used to fill in rashes.

If you can find somewhere to mix paint for you they can put it in a bottle and you can brush it on. BAM! touch up paint. I don't know if you have experience with body work but using filler right on the lip of a wheel seems like a bad idea to me. I would think mounting/dismounting tires would be very likely to break out any filler, but if you're going to do it I would recommend using duraglass for your first coat at least. Also if you're planning on spraying the wheels yourself I would not count on any body shops being willing to mix up sprayable paint to give to you. I don't know where else you could get matching paint.

My 2008 wheel color code is 11SV25. A local auto paint store has it as #26016, RM Stock Touchup 750464.

powder coated so i'm not sure paint would stick very well or last very long...
