Found an almost perfect match : touch up paint for gunmetal ITR rims
Amazing! Look for Dupli-Color Scratch Fix 2in1 "NG GM 435 Light Gray Metallic". It has a brush and a pen tip for touch up tasks. I found mine at Canadian Tire.
The color is almost exactly the same. I bought mine to fill in some dents after the rim flipped over onto the pavement after I took it out of the hatch (self-ownage)! It's filling and blending in excellent.
Here's a pic of the paint, my camera got confused so it's not so clear.

I'm in that same boat!
Prev owner Ski'd them up pretty good.
JDM 16's w/ Fresh Kaiser Silver is in the works in a few mths though.

take a picture of the rim damage that will give us a better example of how close the colors are...
You can get a bottle of touch-up paint for Solaris Silver, which is the color for the gunmetal rims (it's a better match than Kaiser Silver, which is close though), at your Acura dealer for around six bucks or so. The paint code for Solaris Silver is NH-536M and the part number for the touch-up paint is 08703-NH536MAA.

Hehe - it seems every time this topic comes up, you suggest this, but I'm still not sure how/why Solaris would be a be a better match. The factory color on the '00-'01 wheels & center caps is Kaiser Silver Metallic (NH-546M), so it's a perfect match. As you've said, the two colors are similar and will probably provide similar results, but the actual color is indeed Kaiser.

Because I've seen all the colors side by side.
What makes you claim that Kaiser Silver is "the factory color"?

Kaiser Silver is the color listed in the Acura parts computer for the '00 & '01 ITR center caps and wheels. The color is listed in the description of the parts, and I've confirmed this on three seperate occasions with 2 different dealerships.
I also had my '00 center caps professionally repainted in Kaiser Silver, and they were a 100% perfect match.

Well, the Solaris Silver is pretty dead on, too. Which just shows how close both these colors are to each other. So use either one.
