My Lexus is millenium silver and I'm pretty sure this is the touch up paint for the bumper and lower part of the vehicle. I'm also pretty sure this same color is on other RX main colors. Just in case anyone was looking for it. I just ordered a tube and will post if it's right.

Take your vin number to Lexus parts and they can give you touch-up paint. I have had good results using an air brush and the touch-up paint.

I wonder if Genicolor carries this color of touch-up paint? They had a deal going where all you pay is shipping. My main color is Millennium Silver as well. Genicolor had the perfect match for that color. Their 'pen' is very easy to use.

Thanks, guys. Great idea Salim, I wish I'd thought of that yesterday when I visited the Lexus dealer; I'll get some next time I'm there. Another great idea gashed; I just ordered a paint pen through https://coupon.genicolor.com/index.php?translate=en

For better (smother) results, invest in a cheap air brush kit. They sell one with a wand and compressed air (free of moisture). Get the touch-up paint in a cap and you can spray it on. Remember to block out to prevent overspray and build the paint in thin layers.

It is indeed an exact color match. I used it on several larger areas that likely require more than touch up paint. Bottom line is I am pleased with the results. I had a large paint peel for want of a better description on the front bumper, several large black streaks perhaps material transfer from impact on the rear side bumpers and a bunch of small chips on the sides and rear bottom. I can't say it's perfect, and an up close study will note the touch up, but on a general once over my RX looks much better now and for $15 I am happy with the results and my 14-year old ride now looks about as good as it runs.
I saw the post about the color code. All I can say is the attached link in my original post if for the Gray Metallic Cladding. Further color codes are not required.

A quick update - after a week or so most of the areas I touched up are an exact match color-wise although a close inspection will reveal its been touched up, Oddly, on the bottom rear bumper where I touched up several areas, the shade appears a touch lighter. I can't figure it out - I think I will go over it again. Regardless, my RX went in service June '98 so it's over 14-years old and I just wanted it a bit more presentable. A friend of mine said you use "the ten foot rule" with older vehicles, just giving it the once over from ten feet. Using that standard, it's a huge improvement.
