Default AEV touch up paint

Anybody know of touch up paint for an Argent Gray AEV wheel?
Don't see any on their web site, and still waiting to hear back from them.
Maybe somebody knows of a close match in another paint?
Just have a small nick that is bugging me and I'd like to take care of it.

This is an old post, but I spent some time looking for the answer myself. From the AEV web site product forum:

For now we are recommending a Dodge Touch up color:
Chrysler Part # 4889702AA


Edit: This is officially called "Graphite Metallic", but appears to be renamed "Mineral Grey Metallic" in 2006. I really don't know if the Mineral Grey Metallic touch-up paint would be a good match or not.

I went ahead and picked up some of this AEV recommended touch-up paint from the Jeep dealer today... we'll see how it looks on the Argent wheels

I have the argent beadlocks. I noticed several on several wheels the powder coating cracked and flaked off right at the edge of the wheel near the beadlock ring. It wasn't due to any scraping or contact with anything. It was a matter of poor coating quality. I notified them and sent photos. They replaced the wheel completely. I believe they have a 1 year warranty on coating for Manufacturer defects.

If it is clearly a rock chip or a scrape, I don't think they would warranty. But my feeling is they got a bad batch of powder coated wheels. My new ones are fine after just over a year.

My scratches are definitely from rocks Nothing major - but want to cover it up if I can. Glad to hear you got your wheels replaced though. Good to know they back their product.
