Source for gunmetal touch-up paint?

Anyone know of a source for gunmetal touch-up paint? I just have a couple of small chips in my M6 reps I'd like to fix. Thanks!

I contacted Miro and they suggested I go to a body shop to get it matched. Seems a bit much for just a few ounces of touch-up.

I would definitely contact the manufacturer first. If that goes south, then I would look into a body shop for some paint matching or local auto repair shops for similar paints.

Thanks Charles. I did contact Miro and they told me to go to a body shop. I know a shop can match it, but I doubt they'll be willing to mix me up a touch-up quantity. I'm guessing they'll want to make at least a quart (maybe a pint?). Come to think of it, even though it would be very expensive touch up, I suppose it wouldn't be too bad. The auto repair shop sounds like a good idea too. I couldn't find it on line but maybe if I go to a store I'll find something there. Thanks again...

Edit: Forgot to add, I'm really surprised Miro was not able to send me some. If they really make these wheels they must have drums of this paint. How hard could it be to put a few ounces in a little bottle and send it to me? That's what I call lousy customer service and definately not going the extra mile (foot?) for the customer. Really makes me think twice about buying from them again.
