Default IS500 wheel colors

Hi all,
I wanted to know what color code these wheels are? I know these are the dark Enkei wheels, they look like a dark metallic. I have a rock chip that I wanted to touch up but had a hard time figuring out what the color code is? Does anyone know what the color is and where I could buy some of this paint?

Ouch . In other posts about wheel chips, it appears there are no paint codes for the wheels. All you can do is buy the closest color match on Amazon or other location. It's really not that bad, only you know it's there . I got one on my black wheels and used a black Sharpie to cover it up and then forgot all about it.

Do you guys have a KwickSilver in your area? They are great at wheel repair.

I dont have the dark Enkeis but i have the gun metal painted wheels from the 350 on my IS 500 and this is what i used to touch one of my wheel and its almost perfect....i know the name is misleading but try it, you would be surprised. I had asked a buddyb of mine who had a Pilot with a dark grey and wanted to try his touch up pen and it was very good...

Only 10$ or so, worth a shot..

I’ll take a look at this, thanks for the recommendation!

thanks, yeah it really isn’t that noticeable, I think my OCD of knowing about it is eating me up inside hahah. I’ll see if I can find a similar color just to hide it a little better.

^^ Yeah, you dont want to have a wheel repair done for that, and besides, no wheel repairs will ever be as robust as the original finish...that is my opinion of course.
