Question 1G1 touch up paint

Hey everyone,

I'm in search of a touch-up paint for my Lexus with the exterior color code 1G1, Tungsten Pearl Metallic. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I came across the OEM touch-up paint on Amazon. Has anyone here given it a shot?

Thanks a bunch!

The touch-up paint has just arrived, and it's a perfect match. I'll try to upload both before and after pics for comparison.

BEFORE

AFTER

Here are the before and after pics. It needs a bit of work—apply a thin coat and sand with a 5000-grit abrasive. I will apply one more time.
