Default Front grill color?

I scratched up my grill. What’s the color code for it?

Bump.

Same question. Have two minor grill scratches just near the emblem. Dealer said there is not paint code for the grill.
Any tips on the closest color?

I was told the same. An option is to go to a body shop and ask them to color match a bottle of paint. Maybe Home Depot also since they have a color match paint machine.

The color reminds me of a lot of the gunmetal grey wheels that Toyo/Lex offers (definitely had em on the GS350 F Sport). 1E3 I believe I used when I refinished a wheel. Get a touchup bottle and test out an area

I tried 2 grey colors Toyota uses magnetic and pearl and it is way darker and metallic. The grill seems to be dull grey so I used primer as touch up to cover the scratches
