Default Touch Up Paint for Gunmetal Five Axis S5:F Rim

Long story short, my gf touched a curb with the rear rim. Now there's rash on the face of the rim. I have the Five Axis gunmetal rims and am in need of some touch up paint.

Anyone have any experience with matching the color of this rim? I did a search online but nothing. I spoke with a rim repair guy and he said that this color was hard to match but he could get close. I'm a DIY guy so I want to try to fix it myself first.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

There won't be any touch up paint from Axis on the market. Really the best option is having the wheel guy get as close as he can or just buy a new wheel.

FYI. I contacted Five AD and Young hooked me up. He had his painter mix up a batch based on the purchase date of the rims. FYI, there were 2 different shades of gunmetal for S5:F rims.

Mods please close.
