TBH its best to buy from the dealers as then paint match is not such a problem.
And remember as yours is same as mine it needs a lacquer!

Prices quoted above for the spray cans is for both paint and lacquer! (had to buy some recently!)

The place just seems a bit sh!t tbh. They tried painting to blend it into the other panelsand made it worse. hes trying to get the to pay for Lexus to do it but fighting a losing battle I think!
