Touch up paint for 818M wheels

Does anyone know of a paint that can touch up the translucent black part of the rim? Anything for the gloss black?

Thanks in advance,

I had my 818M rim rash touched up today as I asked the tech what he used and it is high gloss black.

High gloss black paint, but any chance he gave you a paint code? Or is there a paint code for this one?

The gloss black is pretty dang universal to match....

The tricky part is the smoked clear.
My wheel guy won't spot touch it up. It doesn't last...
Mobile repair guys will as that's what they do.......on R&R, spot spray and blend....

That's like the biggest flaws with the OE wheels. I think the 818 and 809 look really on the chassis but the tint/clear is soft as shi#
