Standard Is-F Wheel Colour

[markovanb]

Does anyone know what the standard lexus is-f dark grey wheel colour is called ?

As i would like to buy a touch up if possible, they do not warrant a refurb yet,

[Stuno1]

Best bet is to call lexus for a paint code chap. Then get paint shop to mix some up for you.

look on swell website in the states, they do the touch up and have code on their site mate

No touch-up available, but get a paint shop to make it up for you. Apparently a couple of options available, standard 11GY39 (dark silver metallic) or 11GY38 (buffed finish). I have used Toyota Phantom Grey Pearl (1E3), only a near match, not perfect, but is available as a touch up.

thanks a lot roheel,

i can see why now it's sewell, i had swell from the first post, lol,

i have sent them an e mail, about the shipping, it came out at $84 from shppoing cart?

in the meantime i have found 1E3 touch up on our good old e bay, even genuine toyota touch up's with free postage, my lexus dealer refused to send my recent touch up in the post, this meant a 75 mile total journey for me to pick it up, around 5 gallons in a is-f in fun mode lol.

I'm back in the States in May mate. Could get one from Sewell delivered to a mate over there if needed? Just a thought.

Hope you get something sorted chap.

Cheers.

Peter :)

Can you post a pic once you've applied it to see how close the match is?

[rayaans]

11GY39 is not a paint code right? ISF and all the F Sport models have the same colour wheels and ive kerbed mine doing a full turn with a sandwich in one hand

[markovanb]

Even if its slightly different itll look miles apart. The whole rim is white on the edges :/ Looks even worse because all the others are intact!

[markovanb]

if it is as bad as you say it is not a touch up stick you want, but a paint job, why not see what mobile wheel repair guys are in your area, and i think the code you mentioned is the paint code of the colour of the wheels, but a mobile guy can mix the paint to suit your colour on the job, and just blend the damage in around the edges.

Hi guys, sorry for all the thread revivals... I need to make a decision about the colour of my alloys by Thursday afternoon... My research seems to indicate that Toyota Phantom Grey Pearl – Paint Code 1E3 is the closest match to the Lexis IS-F / F-Sport grey.. 

As you've experienced using this with your grey alloys, does it match? Will I be happy with the colour?

 

Thanks.

It's a close match but I wouldn't paint the whole wheel with it. Go for BMW Ferric Grey, it looks pretty good

Hey!

wow! what a colour, it looks stunning. I think this might now be my colour choice. Cheers!

BMW Ferric Grey:

 

Do you think it will look like this? This is Richcurtis1981's car:

 

 

 

I was trying to go for this sort of colour but I like the BMW one now..

I think its a bit too light. The ISF wheels are darker

Yeah you're right. Hmmm. What shall I do?!? lol

[Arqum]

I've used 1E3 and the match is spot on.  Get that mate or near.  The BMW is way too light and will look out of place compared to stock. 

[Arqum]

Look at the following.  May help you. 

[EuroFighter]

Hey. I saw the spec sheet with the two colour codes. I'm not going to go down that route as it'll be too expensive. So I need to stick to one colour. Yeah 1E3 is the one everyone says to go for, but one of the above comments said don't get it done and go for the BMW colour which threw me right off haha. It's a big decision and I don't want to get it wrong - to be fair anything between silver and anthracite is good to me as long as it isn't black... I just really like the F-Sport/ISF colour.

If only I could see a fully painted 1E3 alloy.
