touch up paint for type-S wheels

I don't know if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find it in a search...

Does Acura make a touch up paint for the type-S wheels? I have a small scratch that would touch up pretty well...if they make a paint for it.

Thanks!

Well, I got my own answer. I called my Acura dealer. They don't make a touch up paint for the gray wheels on the type-S. The parts guy said he thinks Antricite metalic is close, but he isn't sure. Uggg...

I am thinking about going to a body shop and having them color match the wheels and just purchase the smallest amount I can maybe like a pint?

I found touch up paint at the auto part store that is extremely close. Dupli Color NG GM 396 (gunmetal metallic). It is slightly darker than the Type S wheels, but on a small spot from 3 feet away it looks perfect.

This thread is interesting for me to. I was planning to paint my '08 base wheels the TL-S color, but then I came to the conclusion I wanted a little more contrast to my AM body. It did seam too close of a match when I was color matching. I'm lookin to do a 3 stage paint on my wheels now. Just deciding if I should go darker or lighter in contrast to my body. I'm leaning more towards lighter.
