Can you buy Polaris Silver from anywhere in a rattle can without having to have it mixed up?

I would like to just touch up my bbs's a little for Santa pod but couldnt find anything when doing a quick internet search...

Anyone know of anything?

I'm pretty sure that it's been deleted by BMW, i had an E28 in Polaris and kept drawing blanks when looking for touch up etc.
I guess someone could replicate it though couldn't they?
I suppose you only need a bit for wheels. Let me know how you get on.

I am not sure about the UK, but a shop called auto one here in Australia will mix rattle cans up for any colour if you have the code. they made me one up for my e30 and it was spot on. there has got to be someone on the net doing the same thing, or some motor factor in the UK doing it.
