Touch up paint for stock wheels?

Anyone know where I can get silver touch up paint for stock wheels on a 2006 Cooper Cabrio? I have some spots where the finish has completely chipped off and I'd like to repair them. The chips were caused by removal of the balancing weights during a rotate and balance.

I used the MINI touchup white (Aspen or Alpine, I can't remember which - the BMW folks will correct you sternly if you get it wrong ) and it's a pretty good match.

Bee- did you have stick on or clip on? I thought MINI only used stick on.

They were clip on, from Tom Bush MINI in Jacksonville. When they took them off at Ferman MINI in Tampa Bay, they chipped the finish right of on three out four wheels. I think the new weights on there now are clip on too but I'll have to check.
