Hyper Silver wheel touch up?

Anyone have any ideas on the correct color match for the 19" Hyper Silver wheels? I already have one nick on my 2013 Maxima on one wheel and having a hell of a time trying to find if I can get some touch-up. Nissan apparently doesn't sell and cannot get a color code.

On my 02 I have the G35 coupe hypersilver 18's. I looked into this and found that you will not be able to find an exact match. Reason being that the rims are painted with several coats, including one light black coat, if I remember correctly. All these coats gives it that color. I have not looked into it recently, but this was the case years back.

Thanks man... that is what my searching has revealed too... that it is a multi-coat process and some even say that it is done using lead based paints for at least some of the process making it more difficult to find a match etc. Might end up being a case of getting something that matches 95% and calling it a day.

I asked about this the last to e I was at the dealership. They said what has been mentioned above and that you couldn't exactly match it. I'm on the lookout for something "close" that I can live with.

No problem. I did find an old thread on another forum....some guys talked about what worked ok for them.

I have a 2012 with 19"s. I need to touch up as well. Did anyone here try that Ghost Chrome from the link, and is this technically hypersilver?
