^Yeah, it is hard to find. I only found a few places online that sold it. I already had my color picked, so I searched by the part number, SEM#####. More results came up that way. I'm lucky enough to work with a guy who's big time in the AACA; he has binders with paint chips of almost every kind of automotive paint. You can find copies of the paint chip pages online, but the reproductions suck. Try to find a Sherwin-Williams Automotive store near you. That's where I got mine. If they don't have what you're looking for in stock, they can get it. And they should have the real paint chips.

God damn five minute edit rule...
EDIT: I tried looking up stores in Weschester, but the damn thing kept defaulting to Charlotte. Here's the site; they list all kinds of stores that sell S-W automotive paint, but the actual S-W Automotive stores sell SEM and other professional automotive paint, as well.

Yeah that's going to be a lot of work repairing those wheels, nothing a little sanding, glaze filler, and primer won't fix. I would clean them up and do a super good inspection to make sure there is no bends or other serious damage.

Pinstripe. There is special tape for doing pinstripe masking, a good autobody supply store should have it. You could also have a pro do it when your done painting.

I picked up a set of gunmetal a-specs and they have curb rashes nearly all around 4 wheels. It's not as bad as yours wheels milk man, but I'm gonna have a lot of work ahead of me as well. I'm thinking about doing bronze a-specs since I'm refinishing them.
Were they in a TORNADO BRAH

Wheels look good compared to how they were before.
SEM spray paint is good, but still is just spray paint in general. Automotive clear is a 2, or 3 part mix, clear/hardener. The gloss, durability and chemical resistance is very, very high on the quality stuff, similar to powder coating.
Some larger scale auto paint supply stores also can make "spray bombs". Any color formula mixed/reduced and put into a spray can. I've even heard of them putting clear/hardener together in a spray can too, obviously on a application time table for immediate use.
