Default Touch up paint for oem wheels?

Hello

I have a 2010 lexus is250 with the stock "crab claw" wheels. The wheels came with some curb rashes and i want to fix it. Does anyone know of any touch up paint that will blend in well with these wheels?

I know i can go to lexus and see but was hoping someone had a paint code that matches and blends well with the oem wheel paint color.

I can't say it matches OEM completely but I refinished some genesis wheels for my IS250 using Duplicolor Perfect match VW 'REFLEX SILVER' and it looks completely stock... it had the perfect amount of shine vs flakes vs shade of silver

Are your genesis wheels nearly identical in color to the oem 18" 2010 wheels?

Not necessarily. I went to the dealer for touch up paint for my 07 IS wheels and they did not list anything. Suggested just going to a Duplicolor rack and matching by eye.
