437m touch up paint

Dealer made a very minor scratch in one of my wheels when they swapped the tires over. Can't seem to find a grey that matches the 437m colour. Doesn't need to be perfect as the scratch is barely more than a hair thick.
Anyone have a lead?

Dont think there is specific touch up for 437M wheels
Especially for those ones that are black tint coating, you will not get the color that matches with original color.

If you cannot stand such imperfection, I recommend to reach out refinish shop that is well reputable and ask them if they had experience fixing M2/M3/M4 black tint coated wheels.

Any update on this. Just had a rock scratch a small portion of the back right rim. Touch up paint would make the scratch go away.

I haven't found one. I was going to give it a shot with smoke tinted nail polish but then I just gave it to wheel repair place and they stripped it, repolished, and clear coated it again (reasonably close match on the tint, just a tiny bit darker).

Any pictures of the whole car? I like the idea of getting the wheels done that way
