Default Need help to repair a rim!!!!

I have hyper black painted rims on my 97 volvo 850. I noticed that a small chip of paint has come off of the wheel. I had not scratched it on anything, and I therefore believe that it is a result of improperly applying the paint by the manufacturer. Regardless, it is only a small bit of paint and I am trying to figure out the best way to repair it. One of my friends suggested using some high gloss model paint to repair the small patch missing. I am looking for any suggestions that can help me to make my wheel look correct. Any input will be much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

I would try to find a Close spray paint and use that.
Did they come on the car New?

The only Black painted rims I have seen were painted after buying the car.

Volvo only sold Light grey and Dark Grey like on the R's. (As far as I know)
