Default Color match 2011 OEM wheels

I have a few chips in the OEM wheels from a 2011. Does anyone know the paint code or a place to buy touch up paint already matched?

Flawless, I just ordered a bottle of Toyota paint code IE3 to touch up a few chips on my '11 wheels. I just searched this last week - sounds like there may not be a perfect match, but many have had luck with IE3 on our wheels - it's supposed to be very close. I ordered way more than I'll use - if you are near Chandler, you are welcome to stop by and try out what I have. I ordered it from Automotive Touchup, but it hasn't arrived yet...

Toyota Phantom Grey - 1E3 - Dupli-Color - Autozone - Walmart - www.anywhere/mostlikely.com

Its not a perfect match but it's close enough that if you clean the wheels properly and touch up spray that you basically can't see where you sprayed. I would practice first because of the pearl in the paint rolls so if you spray too much you will easily see the runs.

Will do. It's supposed to arrive next week. Bigjon referred to a spray touchup - just for clarification, I ordered a bottle/brush of IE3 touchup. I'm going to be traveling some next week - I'll IM you my cell...

Yep, 1E3. It's even a match for my '15 RCF wheels:

You can get a tube of TouchUp tube (with a brush) at any auto store. I got mine at Pep Boys.
