Touch up paint for wheels..?

I have the painted gunmetal wheels. Two winters have pretty much left the insides of the spokes destroyed. They need some touch up paint bad. I have been to two dealerships and they told me they can't get or match my wheel paint. I am going to try a body shop.. but I expect them all to tell me to **** of as well.. or probably want to charge me a **** ton. It seems like I've heard a lot of people talk about ordering stock wheel paint.. where the hell do I get it?

So what the hell? I have tried everything.. Chevrolet tells me to go to a body shop.. they have no paint code for the wheels.. Everybody shop says they won't be able to match it.. No one will help me.. I am about to get some silver and a black duplicolor paint and try to mix my own..

Won't happen, I work at a paint suppler. Can't even get it. The wheels are aluminum and need a special paint. Try CED they have refininshed rims for sale for cheap.
