touch-up paint for OEM rims

Have an '07 TL-S, and just got a scrape on one of the original rims. Can you buy touch up paint to match the finish, and if so where??

THanks,

Just go to any reputable auto paint dealer and they will mach the paint and put it in a sray can. Aboute $15.00 per large spray can. That is what I did with my G3. It is not a perfict match, for just tuch up's, but you cant tell the deference if you dont have the rims in your face.

pretty well considering most OEM wheels are painted. Cheapest option is to go to local autoparts store and find the closest match. They come in little $6-7 bottles.

The only OEM color that I can thing of that comes close, is the alabaster silver from honda. Though it may be more gray then needed.
