Wheel touch up paint

I have some Work Emotion wheels in Matte Gray Silver, being that it is matte and has no clear coat turns out they scratch pretty easily, particularly when it comes to the lugnuts...

Long question short, has anyone out there dealt with a similar issue? I'm trying to find a touch up that approximates the color, but everything is just too gunmetal looking. Turns out Work doesn't release their color codes so I'm not sure how fruitful going to a body shop for some custom touch up paint would be.

Unfortunately most places need a color code to match to.
You could always refinish the wheels with something a little more durable than whats on them now.

yeah... I think I'm SOL, I'll just have to take as good of care of them as I can for now. They're brand new so I'm a bit broke to refinish them, I'll at least go a year or so and see how they're holding up before I bite the bullet. oh well, thanks!
