Default Paint code question

My 2001 RX300 paint code shows "065/LB00." The 065 is for the white gold pearl body color. What I need is the code for the silver bumper and lower side color that all of the white gold pearl cars have. I was told that the /LB00 is the trim color, so where is the code for the silver?

Any body shop guys out there who know how to find the code so I can order some touch-up paint?

Thank you!

I looked at some previous posts. They mention that calling Lexus customer service with your VIN lets them tell you the paint codes.

Well, that worked! The service rep gave me a code that my paint supplier couldn't locate, but after a few phone calls he found it and said he can mix it. Now why doesn't Lexus include the second-color code on the door-post tag?

Please post what you found to help other members.

Was it Silver ? I thought it was a shade of green.
