Default wheel touch up

Hi all, my wife has a 2015 is250 f sport. Looks like she must have gotten close to a curb and put a 6" rash on one of the wheels. Rim damage is very slight, maily just scuffed the paint off. Is there a touch up paint available for these wheels? thanks

If it's the gunmetal grey colored wheels, it's called phantom grey pearl. 1e3

Thanks, they are the dark grey wheels. Do you know if you are able to buy this from the dealer?

Probably, but will probably be cheaper if you just buy a touch up pen from auto zone or pep boys. duplicolor makes one that's pretty nice. You get more paint from those duplicolor sticks than the pens from the dealer

My base IS 350 wheels are doing the same thing. I'm thinking the clearcoat is wearing off from years of brake dust & cleaners. Out of warranty in my case. I figure I'll just wait a while till they look worse and then refinish all 4 wheels. The smokey color of these wheels help hide this i think... would be more apparent on bright silver wheels.
