Default Aftermarket wheel paint match?

About three years ago I bought Factory brand comp gray wheels from House of Wheels. During the last tire change the installer damaged the finish on three on them.

Has anyone found a paint match for these wheels? They are a shade darker than Chevrolet comp gray.

If you can't find a paint color code for these wheels, you can always bring the car to an auto body shop paint and supply in your area and they have a scanner which they can bring out to your car and scan the wheels and generate a computer match color and then mix the paint, ask for a single stage paint, otherwise you will need to clearcoat the wheels for a glossy finish.

I have a note here that states Duplicolor GM396 or GM WA9243 for Comp Gray wheels.

I recorded this from some other thread of the same subject. I would have assumed House of Wheels was the same color as GM's, if it is darker then I have nothing for ya.
