Question Alloy touch-up

I have a couple of minor curb scuffs on my asteroids. I found the following on eBay but they won't ship outside of UK due to restrictions on shipping flammable liquids. Does anyone know where I can get something similar in Canada or US?

Thanks

If you're looking just for a touchup paint to handle small imperfections, after much experimenting, I've found a color on the market that comes so close to the original silver that it won't be noticed in small areas, or better looking than the rash. The color is a Honda or Nissan color called Millenium Silver #8801613W for the spray. The touchup brush might be the same #, but will match using the same name (Millenium Silver). This color is a little more aggressive with the metalic content so shake it very well before applying and shake often while using it. The paint brand is Duplicolor from auto parts stores.

This was in the links in the detailing section and it seems to indicate that it might be a match for european vehicle wheel colors? I wonder if anyone has any experience with this silver paint from Autopia? They also have clear coat for the overcoat.
