Paint code for grille bottom?

[Brechin Slate]

Hi all

Nasty stone chip at the base of the grille.  I have the Mesa Red paint for the bodywork bit but does anyone know the code for the silver bit at the bottom?

I'd say you are not going to be able to touch in the small area, so if you are using a bodyshop ask them to get as close a match as they can. Or if you are doing it yourself, you'll need to take the part off anyway, so just take that to a motor factors and get the best match you can.

Thanks, pretty sure it's within my skillset having restored a couple of classic cars.  Thought there might be a designated paint code, if not I'll mix one up from the ones I have lying around

Would a decent body shop be able to scan the colour and match from that? I agree, worth having a go at yourself. Nothing to lose. If the repair isn’t good enough then get it professionally done. I had a slight chip on the same panel on my own IS300h. I left it because it wasn’t as bad but I did plan to attend to it by having a go myself. Hope you find a match.
