Default Revolver Wheel Touch-up Paint?

I have the standard equipment, much-despised "revolver" alloy (non-chromed) wheels on my 1999 XK8 coupe that have a few chips here and there.
It appears they are painted with a two-stage paint: color/clear.
Does anyone know where I can buy touch-up paint for these wheels?

I fixed mine up with Duplicolor, spraying the metallic first and the clear top coat a few hours later. You can do it on one section of the wheel but for me it seemed better to do the whole wheel since I had a lot of scrapes.

Good plan regardless of the number of scrapes or scratches. Getting an absolute match on the colour would be a nightmare.

Jim,

I saw the message on the end of your duplicate thread about not being able to delete and deleted it for you.

I recently redid all my revolver wheels using the Duplicolor paint and I was happy with the results. You will need the Duplicolor High Performance Wheel Coating Silver and Clear. Follow some of the suggestions in this thread for good results:
