Default Need help - wheel color code

I ran over a nail and had my rear tire repaired yesterday. The tire shop scratched my wheel in two different places I took my car to a body shop today to get it fixed and they asked for the color code of the wheel so they can match the paint perfectly. My dealership said there was no code, that they'd have to match the paint on their own. I figured before I told the body shop that I'd see what the online community can produce Does anybody know if a color code for the wheels exist? GS350 F sport with 19" graphite wheels.

I would call a wheel repair specialist (mobile) Your local Lexus dealer uses them all the time. They will repair and refinish the wheel on the car. They should be able to match the paint

Oh damn...do you have the wheel and tire insurance? I was told by a service advisor the other day that some of the new wheel and tire policies cover cosmetic damage. I know in the past they did not because I had a moderately bent wheel on one of my 3GS's that apparently wasn't badly enough bent to qualify for replacement.

The wheel and tire insurance is a necessity. I've already curbed two wheels on my F Sport and my dealer repaired them at no cost.
