The closest color I've found to this is sold as a kit at a parts store. My LS460's rims have been the victim of some neighborhood cats and they are peeling away. I'm going to have to paint all 4 so I bought two kits. YMMV so wait for others to chime in if they have paint codes you could take to a paint shop that mixes custom colors using products from PPG or the like.

Thank you for your reply

i found a place that does a paint matching, its pretty far away from where i live,and expensive, was hoping to get something on here as far as a good close match, i mean its only one rim.

so you say its pretty close? i mean i would be happy as long as its not too obvious.

I can't guarantee the paint match of course. That is why I bought two sets of the Hyper paint. I had four rims to do so by default they'd all match. Hopefully you find a paint pro to help.

I was going to do a test spray on one small section of a rim this weekend if it isn't too cold just so I have an idea of the coverage. If I remember I'll send a picture. Of course I can't guarantee my LS factory rim paint is the same as yours.

Rims take an absolute beating. I can't imagine rattle can lasting more than year depending on use. Catalyzed enamels are tougher. Have you called a rim repair place? Sometimes their prices are reasonable.

unfortunately the rim repair places around where i live are not reasonable at all, the cheapest i have been quoted was 130 dollars for just one rim, or is that a reasonable price for just a sand and paint?
