Question Paint Code for wheels ?

Anyone able to source a valid paint code for the OEM road wheels ?
Lexus has come up with a blank.
Mine is a '10 & I would like to restore the 19" Summer set off-season.
Next Summer I'll do the 18 " Winter set.

How close is the Tungsten Pearl to the road wheels for a match ?

Tried more than a few silvers from local retailers with a lot of "close" but not quite there.
I was able to source a US supplier who can send a base/clear set up in two separate cans.
Just tried it on a bumper of an older Accord we have & was a perfect match.

Cheers,

The simple answer is that there is no paint code for the wheels

All 4 wheels need to be done to match as the colour is mixed from the factory and no one apart from the factory knows what it is

Found an exact match a couple years back when we had one of the 19" wheels resprayed.
Pretty sure it was a Honda Odyssey colour............not sure. I did not keep the paint code.
Body shop since changed hands & all records since disposed of.

Looks like I'll be starting over again with a preference for the Honda colour chips.
Once I get a match it's easy from there.

Cheers,
