NE1 Use/Know of "Wheel" Touch Up Paint?

One of my new to me, 4 month old 132s tars caught a nail from the
ubiquitous new house construction sites we have on our Mtn roads.

After a nearly two months of constantly topping up the very slow leak,
I pulled the front driver wheel and carted it down to one of our very low
tech wheel/tire joints. I begged the owner, whom I know, to be very careful
on the tire take off and put on, during the patching process.

I got it back and it looked ok, until upon very close inspection I found a
2+ inch gouge right at the tire/wheel seam probably from the initial "bite" of
the wheel iron tool they use. Zaino ain't covering it up.

I can see, most would not notice, but it's driving me fookin crazy...

Anyone know of the proper color of touch up paint; is there such a prod,
and does it work?

Thanks for letting me rant.
