Default F-Sport wheel touch up paint

I've tried many touch up colors in an attempt to find a perfect or very close match for my wheels. For what it is worth, I have found that Lexus color code 1H9 is extremely close. I only had a couple very small chips that needed touch up and it worked great. My vehicle is a 2015 GS350 F-Sport. Not sure if 2013 and 2014 models are the same color.

Also, I purchased the paint from Automotivetouchup.com. Quality paint at reasonable prices.

The rim touch up paint from Sewell is not the correct color for my wheels. Much too bright - almost a silver color.

That's because the Sewell paint was for other models, not the F Sport. The F Sport wheels are a 2 tone process, silver underneath with a tinted clearcoat. Some of us got some funky ones from the factory where the top tinted coat had run and streaked during production.
