Looking for Wheel touch up paint

Has anyone matched or had matched a color code for the Enkei stock wheels.

Mitsubishi is clueless, I called Enkei and they won't release paint info, indicating the colors they use are proprietary.

I know there is a computerized system for colormatching, Using a spectrometer, however one paint company I spoke with indicated Wheels are hard to get a true color match from.

Has any one had this done, were you happy with the results, and can you post the paint code and brand paint, that was matched by the computer.

Has anyone else had any luck with matching the paint on the stock wheels,

Your help would be appreciated. I really want to fix some scratches and get my winter tires off my car at the same time, in the least amout of time possible.

And always remember, find a place with a touchless tire changer, and stick on weights!!!!!!!

Check out the link below. I do not know if it will match the Enkei's exactly, but from what it looks like, it's a pretty close match and wheel repair is outlined also.
