Default Where to find "Competition Grey" Wheel Paint?

Looking to spray my C6 Motorsport wheels Competition Grey like some Vettes had, dont know where to find the color and a good paint that is good to use on the wheels. Currently the wheels spokes are machine faced with black inserts.

You could try a local automotive paint shop. Our local Sherwin Williams and Finishmaster both have enormous color chip books that break down all automotive paint codes by manfacturer, model year and section of the car, including interior and wheel paint codes, but they are not model specific, only make specific( like chevy, pontiac ext.) . If the comp grey is a powder coat, a paint shop like that will not have the code though. Im not sure if comp grey is paint/clear or a 2 stage powder process like GM's midnight silver(05-07 Cobalt SS and the darker RS 5th gen Camaro wheels) If they cant provide a paint code, try asking a company like Transwheel. They are both an OEM supplier and repair/refinisher of OEM wheels.
