there are a few here in l.a.-
Griots has some wheel touch up paint. www.griotsgarage.com However, I doubt that it would turn out very well. It will probably be tough to get to match,
You'll probably be better off just getting the wheel repaired. I had a wheel repaired at Ye Old Wheel Shop in Elkridge, MD that shouldn't be too far for you to go. Their prices are reasonable and in 2000 they fixed a rim with a big chunk out of it and did a great job.

Thanks for the info guys... John - I may wait until I get a few more before I go to Ye Old Wheel Shop - but its good to know about them.
I am really surprised that the manufacturer's do not provide a touch up paint match....?? I have owned several Hondas/Acuras in the past, and if I'm not mistaken, most of their alloys seem to have the same finish color (unpolished).

Wow! Those are some excellent results! Although, I tried to follow their guide on touch up paint (which depicted similar results) - and wasn't able to come close, but maybe with some more practice...!
