Something like Dr. Colorchip for wheels?

My 351Ms picked up a couple of chips from handling during a wheel switch-over. It's not curb-rash but there are chips in the finish.

Has anyone ever seen anything like Dr Colorchip for wheels that might be able to lessen the poor appearance without a full refinish?

Do they even have a paint match for it? You wouldn't need to get Dr Colorchip, you could just get any matching paint. Micro brushes are helpful for touch up.

I was thinking about the specific way you can use the leveling compound afterwards for decent results. I didn't think that compound worked with just any paint - but come to think of it I'm not positive.

I can't remember where I got it, but the wheel paint code should be A44.
