I have an 08 and after an accident had to get a few rims painted. Took them to a Lexus dealership and after 3 attempts now have 3 different colored rims. Most people probably couldn't tell but it bugs the crap out of me. Been looking for the actual paint code and can't find it anywhere. Anyone know it.

As far as I know there's no paint code for our 08 wheels. It's a multi step pearled finish. I've used Toyota paint code 1E3 for curb rash touch ups before and it blends in well.

Frustrating I can imagine. I had one of my HREs scratched by Discount Tire and had it repaired. The tech took over an hour to match the color and nailed it. I just has a less slick feeling on a couple of the spoke but no color variation.

Have you thought of having them all resprayed ?? Its not as much as some may think and it will perfect and brand new

Ya. I am definitely going to get them all resprayed but I want to know the color to spray them. That's my issue. Just need a paint code to have them sprayed to.

^^^^Doubt you'll be able to find it, but the official color code is 11GY39. Many have looked, but no one has been able to find it. And you're welcome! HAHA!!!!!!!!!!!

But again, 1E3 is what I and I number of others have used when repairing stock wheels, and it matches!
