Anyone figure out how to get that graphite color? I purchased OEM wheels that I am trying to paint to graphite. The Rustoleum or Duplicolor wheel paint is way too dark compared to the Lexus graphite color.

Here is what I use.
1E3 - Charcoal
Part Number:00258001E321
It is listed on Sewell's site as Wheel Touch Up for the ISF
I obtained this information from another thread here.

I can confirm that the ISF wheel color is different than Fsport 2011.. ISF wheel is darker

I would go to a paint mixer and match the color by a paint color book.

Just to confirm, the width of the rear 18 in F-Sport wheel is 8.5 in, correct?

I had 3 of mine repaired through Lexus. The wheels turned out great, color match is perfect. Find a better repair place

I have those wheels and PO spplied marginal rash...

Being a bit OCD this works:

I take no credit for this find but another member said it matched so I tried it to cover the white rash... It is a Good match for pen and brush applicator...
Note: Hold pen upright for both color and clear applications....
Buy it. It works but it does fade in the sun.

I have the Lexus F sport 19 inch forged wheels. One wheel lightly rashed and one had a chip in mid middle. I took my car in for its oil change 35k and Lexus did the repair in house
Same day. Since I bought the tire and wheel package it was no changes for the wheels. The total was 397.92 for all the wheel repair and oil change if I where to have to pay for all of it.
