Default Wheel Touch Up Paint from Sewell

Anybody tried this wheel touch up paint from Sewell? It sounds like it works on all F models. But I didn't know all F model wheels were the same color. When they changed them in 2010, did they keep the same color?

I have found and used Toyota paint code 1E3, phantom Grey. To my eyes, it's a perfect match for the wheels.

I just bought a bottle myself. For $12, it's definitely worth a try.

I did not pay $12.00 for my dupl-color can from AutoZone. So, it seems Sewell confirmed my choice. I've recommended this in other threads.

I just bought some of this touch up paint for the wheels and I don't think it matches. Am I the only one that thinks that? it is 1E3 paint code and seems much lighter than the wheel itself.

Anyone have any input on this?

^^^ I only used it on a very small chip, but I thought the color was spot on once it dried.

I tried it on a couple of chips and it matched real well. I bought the dupli-color version at my local auto parts store for a lot less!
