Touch up paint for wheels aren't usually available. You might try connecting Genesis and see if they can help you.

Unfortunately I don't think there is any touch up paint anywhere for it and have not seen or found any paint info for them either and being the type of metallic paint it is will be tricky to match. A good body shop can probably match it and make it close.

You might have to be a little innovative - I used Testor model paint, Silver and Black - added black with a toothpick to the silver until I got pretty close. Only I really know where it is on the wheel.

There are companies that will fix it for you. I had it happen to a GV80 minor scuff, cost 185 to repair can't go job can not find it.
That was caused by my wife.
Traded that car for a GV70 and it happened to me Right Rear. Same damage same price from a different vendor 1,000 miles away from original location.

+1 on professional wheel repair companies. Depending on the damage well worth the cost.

mopar hyper black wheel touch up paint matches 21 inch sport rims very nicely

How old is your car?
When I picked up my GV70 last week, the dealer told me that I had a 6 month warranty on wheel damage (from the dealership, I think?). Also have a 6 month free replacement for the key fob too.

Interesting. Did you get that in writing? People that work in car dealerships go to training to learn that vacant stare when asked to perform anything they promised to do during the sales process.

It actually is in writing.
It's just something this dealership offers according the to salesperson.
I thought it was kind of weird. My wife and I joked that we could claim we lost a key fob just to have an extra one. However, I suspect that they can just deactivate the one you claimed to have lost.

As a follow up. It seems the right rear wheel is the one to get the damage. I know because I have had it happen on three different cars.
The first one was a black wheel so a magic marker fixed the problem. The second one was a bit more severe on a GV80 it cost 200.00 for a perfect repair. The third was on a GV70 it cost 75.00 and again was perfect.
Lesson learned swing wide on right hand turns.
