2008 Is250 Exclusive To Canada Base Model Interior Touch-up Paint Ques


Recommended Posts

This is a long-shot question: in 2008 (and perhaps subsequent model years) Lexus sold a base IS250 RWD stripped model that I believe was exclusive to Canada (cloth seats, no sunroof or heated seats, 16 inch wheels, manual seat adjustment, no interior wood trim). Fabulous bargain vehicle, but a dime-sized drop of something appearing to contain solvent fell on the center console cover, was smeared a bit and has left a permanent stain (see left side of attached photo - my wife says I did it, but she drives the car!). Fortunately the stain is on the surface and appears to not have penetrated the plastic.

Anyways, in the photo you will see that the console has a gun-metal type matt finish as opposed to the maple wood finish of 99% of IS250s. Before I take it to an interior detailing shop to have the panel, ashtray cover and drink holder cover removed and re-painted, does anyone know if there is a specific touch-up paint in the right color? Should I use a different approach? We bought the car new, the interior is otherwise immaculate and has very low mileage so we expect to keep it for a while.

Thanks!!
