Wheel touch up paint

Sadly I curbed a wheel the other day. Does anyone have a recommendation for gloss black paint to match the GS/ ZO6 wheels? Or should I just go to the auto parts store and find something?

I bought Dupli-Color Universal Gloss Black touch-up paint; and it matched great.

Seems like there should be a gm paint code specifically for the wheels. Hopefully someone that knows will chime in

He got it right. I have personally used it. Perfect.

I've used Testors gloss black model paint, the original not acrylic.

Unless the damage is very minor, I'd find a good wheel touchup guy and let him do it. Give him the paint code if you have it, but those guys have computerized eyeballs and can match almost anything. I've had a couple done that way, and even years later i couldn't spot the area.
