Getting a front lip installed and painted... I don't have time to take my grill off for the painter to color match it. So I want to tell them what paint to order. I'm not too picky if it's not 100% match for the grill. I know it's a dark gray with flake in it. Is there an exact code/Toyota paint color for it?

I was thinking Phantom Gray Pearl but when I look at pics online that seems a bit light compared to our F Sport grills...

Would appreciate if someone can find out for me! So I can tell my friend who will paint it! (he owns a body shop)

I guess nobody knows...

I decided to try something unique... either phantom gray pearl (is supposed to match our F sport wheels but when I google pics of it, it seems a bit too brown) My F Sport touch up paint worked perfectly with it though..

or Nebula gray pearl =D

Any ideas? I know those two will be lighter than the grill. thats what i've decided to do for now.

I used:

Dupli-Color BTY1600 Graphite Gray Pearl Toyota Exact-Match Automotive Paint

Its looks good enough to me

Very nice match! I went with Phantom Grey Pearl. Likely lighter than the grill but I am going for a lighter look--i think it could look nice. Could look bad.. we'll see lol!

Graphite Gray pearl seems to be code 1C6, paint color for 1st gen IS300, early 2000s Camry and ES300.

Looks like a good match!

Nice! Hope it comes out perfect for you!

Thanks. I note the NX200t TRD lip is a light gray color that's ligher than the F Sport grill so I figured it might look OK if it's lighter than the grill.





I'll go check out your build thread now. Your car looks good.
