Default Wheel paint for scuffs, help! 2018 IS300

Greetings fellow Lexus people;

i am the new owner of a new to me Lexus IS300. Sadly, my first scratch happened three weeks after purchase on the front wheel.

I have scoured the internet and checked with my local people in the SF BayArea and cant find a paint code or name of paint to fix the scratch in my wheel.

i cant be the only one who has had this problem, hence my reason for posting.

please help out this rookie on finding a color match.

Wheel part number 4261a53321

pics attached

thank you!

Babaijebu,

I saw that post and purchased the Phantom Grey Pearl paint....it was the wrong color and is too dark for my wheel. Was wondering if anyone recognizes the wheel in my photo/year/make/model and could advise on what paint color they bought for a fix.

Thx

i used Caviar for a close match. I guess a wheel guy can do a better job matching when necessary.

Caviar? The wheels above are silver, not black.
