Question Alloy Wheel Touch Up Paint?

I already know one of the 4 968 rims I am buying will have a bit of curb rash (in the form of several chips).

Is there a known touch up color I can use for Porsche alloys that will match? Assuming they are small chips, spending $100 to have the rim refinished doesn't sit well with me.

Thoughts?

Hmmm...putting Bondo on the wheel rim. I am guessing next tire change will be fun!?

Luckily for me, the chips are near the center cap. So maybe I can just get a brush-on paint and clear, dab it on, and be fine?

Thanks for the link though!
