Following up on this 8 year old thread. I can A-ttest to Testors. Get it? ok, I know, cheesy, but I have the 04-06 17's and had a good chunk out of one of them, so I read this and went to Hobby Lobby. I decided instead of the pen to buy the little jar of Testors silver paint and some very fine little brushes. The whole purchase set me back $5.12. Ouch 
. I chose the paint over the pen because one thing you always want to do with touch-up is help seal the edges to prevent flaking. Otherwise wind/air and grit will get under and start peeling. While walking around I found other nicks in the wheels so I hit them all.
Anyway, back to the topic, YES, Testors silver is very close to Lexus Hyper Silver and a good choice. Looks nice now.
