Anyone have a good source of Hyperblack touch up paint?

I tell everyone NOT to use those shitty torque sticks on my wheels because they will rub and scratch off all of the paint.. But they never listen.

My dealer marked up my wheel in one lug hole, and this morning Town Fair Tire (here in Mass) marked up all 5 lug holes on a different wheel. Aside from people saying "Tell them they need to buy you knew wheels," or "Time to start bringing in just the wheel to places,"

Does anyone know of a good source of Hyperblack touch up paint? Or anything that you have used to come as close as possible.

They are Enkei GTC01's

I called Enkei and they said they don't have anything because they are 3 stage paint process.. Which I can see because the paint marks go from the paint, to a black, and then to a white color.

I found a paint pen from walmart. Its the duplicolor scratch fix 2in1 NG GM 490 Pewter Metallic. Its not the titanium one i found but it looks pretty close. I am going to test it out tomorrow on the wheel... Hope its good. Picked up the clear coat pen too. I tested the pewter metallic on some paper (i know its not the same) and held it up to the wheel and it looks like its pretty darn close. The scratches are mainly in the lug holes so its not going to be seen all the time.

Ill post after pictures of the same scratches
