S model wheel paint color

Does anybody have a good matching paint to use on the S model wheels? I'm looking to cover up some scuffs.

Thanks!

the color is hyper silver, and it's a 3 stage paint process. There's unfortunately no good way to touch it up properly that I'm aware of.

I certainly don't plan on a 3 stage paint project but wanted to see if anybody has gotten something that is pretty close. I really just want to hit the wheels near the lug nuts where the tire monkeys bang their tools when loosening the nuts.

I had the same problem with some small chips around the lug nuts. I bought 3 bottles of different shades of silver Duplicolor touch-up paint from Pep Boys that were close to the hypersilver wheel paint and then I experimented with mixing them until I got a match that is really close to the wheel paint. For small chips it worked fine and you can't even see the touch-up unless you are up close and looking for it.
