Touch up paint for OEM wheels?

I am sure this has been discussed before, but a quick search didn't net me the answer.
I just picked up a set of Silver Painted OEM 17x9 ZR1 style wheels. They are in pretty good shape, but I want to make them better by trying to repair some chips and scrapes to the original silver paint. I feel that if I can get a small bottle of touch up paint I can fill in the chips, wet sand, and clear coat and hopefully "restore" the wheels to a better appearance. I don't want to completely strip and re-paint. They are not damaged to that point.
Anyway:
1. What is the exact color for OEM silver painted ZR1's? Paint code?
2. Where is the best place to pick it up?
Thanks in advance!

Press 1 for spanish....
Might try the paint section.
I began to answer your question but realized I better leave it to someone who has done this/knows more about paint than I do. A bump for ya

Anyone else crack the code on this? I just spoke with the parts dept at Champion Chevy here in town and they claim there are no paint codes for the wheel paint. WTF? I had a feeling I was going to get a stupid answer like that at the dealership.
There has to be some data available somewhere.
Help!

That's right. Eckler's Corvette parts used to carry it for Corvette painted wheels. The picture in their catalog shows it as "GM sparkle silver" touch up paint. I did a quick search and located the part number, and then found it still available at gmpartshouse.com. If all else fails, I think Sebring Silver Metallic is a pretty good match for the wheels.
