Default OEM wheel touch up paint?

For those of you who have curbed your wheels, what are you using for touch up paint? I tried using some Silver Streak Mica touchup but of course it doesn't really match.

dude... don't put paint on your chrome wheels. i have some curb rash on mine too, but i choose to just ignore it until i get some aftermarket wheels. another option if you don't want to just grin and bear it is get the wheel resurfaced. i'm not sure how much that would cost on a chrome wheel, but i'm sure it would be quite a bit more than bare alloy ones would. those run about $100 apiece to resurface, but on a chrome wheel you'd probably want to get it rechromed (is that a word?). hope this helps.

The stock wheels aren't chromed. It's just a special paint or powder coating that kinda shiny. They call it hyperblack. I found one web site that sells wheel paint in a spray can but it says hypersilver. I might try it but it's $30 and I can't tell how well it will match. http://www.expresspaint.com/productc...5&idproduct=52
