Default Help with paint color/code

My 2013 Boxster S with the 20" Carrera S wheels has some minor scratches on the inside rim/barrel where a careless tire tech scratched the paint while removing the glue on wheel weights.
I want a touch up paint that matches the paint on the INSIDE of the rim, not the outside public face.
I tried Wurths silver for German cars but it is "sparkly" and the inside paint does not have sparkles
Can ANYBODY help?

That is EXACTLY the Wurths I mentioned in my OP.

Yeah, the interior barrels of the wheels are more gray than silver... best bet might be taking a wheel somewhere to get color matched?

Agreed, a body shop will likely be your best bet.

The Wurth spray doesn't match either, it is too dark when it dries.

I suspect you might be right. Thanks. And thanks to 63A 981510 also.
