Touch-up paint for the factory wheels on a 2018 Kia Stinger 2.0 Premium

Good evening folks! I was curious as to where I could find touch-up paint for the factory stock wheels on a 2018 Stinger Premium 2.0. It is some sort
of silver-grey shade but I can't seem to locate an exact match. Thanks in advance for any help. Have a great night everyone!

I wanted this years ago. Nobody found an exact OEM touchup metallic. The bright parts are clear coated alloy, so, no touchup for that. All you can do is sand them, and stop scraping into things. Ha hah.

I didn't damage the wheels. That was how I purchased the car.

I've used everything from a bastard file to max grit, through 200 grit and wet-dry 2000 sandpaper. In that order. The alloy responds well to that "treatment". The gun metal between the spokes, as I said, has never been matched to any touchup paint that I know of.

Here's a few pictures of what my wife did to the RR - at the time that's where it was, now it's the LR - cutting a curb on a corner too closely. The file shavings show that I was midway into this rescue project, i.e., the damage looked worse than it does here before I got started.
