Touch up paint for black JCW wheels.

Anyone know if I can get touch up paint that matches the black JCW wheels?
I accidentally curbed them today and scraped 4inches of the lip on one of the wheels. :(
Scrapes are so noticeable on black wheels that its making me consider using these as beater winter wheels now, and getting a set of silver wheels for summer.

Check locally to see if you have any mobile wheel repair services. I have had a couple of curbed wheels fixed like this. The guy came to my office, grinds the wheel smooth and touches up the paint, all without even taking it off the car. Looks like new for $75.

I didn't get any touch up paint with the car when I got the car. I need to ask my dealer about that, though it's like 6 months later now.

I didn't get it with the car either. I purchased it off of eBay. I cant remember exactly how much it was... I think only $11 or something... Much cheaper then buying thru the dealer

For minor scratches I've used a black Sharpie too.
