Default Wheel touch-up paint

Managed to put a small scrape in the wheel of my 2 day old car. IDIOT!

I have the stock 18's. It's a small scratch, about a quarter inch, but you can see a bit of black on it. Anyone know if there's wheel touch-up paint out that would match the color of the wheel? Also, was thinking of lightly sanding with some high grit paper first. Does that make sense? Thanks, from a more careful parallel Parker now!

The best match that I found with my Avus wheels was Einszett Silber. I would expect the current wheels to be similar but I can't confirm that http://www.autogeek.net/1z-einszett-...eel-paint.html Matched much better than Wurth silver alum that some recommend

On my B6 A4, I had some curb rash and was able to use some wheel paint from Walmart to touch up (couldn't find the Wurth or 1Z paints locally). Anyways, the colour match was pretty good with a tiny difference in the amount of metallic flek). In short, it looked good enough that I didn't get dinged on the lease return.
