Default NX 450 Wheel Paint

I’m looking to touch up a wheel scratch without having to have the entire wheel refinished. The dealer doesn’t know the color code to match. Does anybody know what can be purchased to be close?

If I were to guess what's close...Maybe Caviar Metallic.

Depends on what you are covering. Small fine scratches I just use a permanent marker. It certainly isn't a great fix, but it does cover a bit.

My eyes are not very good, I do not see what you are trying to cover. I think I'm looking at reflections.

Thanks. I was just showing the wheel color.

Did you ever find out the color code for this? I have a small scratch I am trying to fix myself as well.

The code might be on the label where the tire air pressure is (drivers door) or try a NAPA store.. there are some really good mobile wheel repair vendors that are reasonable and do great work. Possibly try a dealers parts dept. Give them a VIN

Over the years I've never had great luck with touch up pens the dealers sells. Especially if there's metallic fleck in it. I have an NX350h with 20" wheels and the 'black' on them looks like a very dark metallic grey, and the colour seems similar to other Toyota/ Lexus wheels. Although yours may be not metallic, it's hard to see with your photo. I think they may use a colour from their 'stable' of colours used on other toyota products. I'm gonna look at a Corolla 'Midnight Black' (it's metallic) if I can find one on a lot somewhere to see how it compares.

One source might be a body shop or an alloy wheel refinisher place. They might actually have the paint code. A small touch up on a dark colour is usually not very noticeable if there's a difference.
