Default Touch Up Paint Options for Ti Gunmetal Volk TE's

Looking for help to touch up a very minor knick in my front left Volk wheel. A shop curbed it while in their possession. Ridiculous I know, I am not suing nor pursuing action with them because I want it done right. Basically it is just enough to take the clear coat and a chip of the titanium gunmetal out in one small spot. I'm almost positive Volk doesn't sell touch up paint so my question is anyone with this color find a perfect or 99.9% match for me to use to fix it with? Any help is appreciated. Any reputable wheel repair shops in NorCal would be ok also.

Thanks

I know www.touchuppaintonline.com has wheel touch up paint for stock wheels....but it may be tough for you Volks. Did you check with TireRack to see if maybe they have it?

The only other thing I can think of is to go to an auto store and try to match the color yourself. Or just bring it to another shop and make the first shop pay for it.

Go to the auto parts store and eyeball a small bottle of paint. I have posted several

Thanks guys, yeah I figured I would just have to try and paint match it. Then use nail polish brush or something. Dave I'll check out your post, thanks.

Experimenting will work for you. The key is the primer or under coat. Black, white, silver. Whatever works best for you.
