Default Where to find correct GM silver wheel paint? SS 10 Spokes

Took a look down Autozone's paint aisle the other day looking for some paint for my 10 spokes. Closest I see is a dark silver metallic paint. The factory wheels were a light silver w/o metallic in the paint. Want the wheels to look stock if I can.

Another option if not, I ordered the silver metallic Manta stripes for my Camaro. Thinking of painting the wheels the same color which appears to be a lighter silver metallic paint than the spray cans at autozone.

Also anyone have a close up of the center caps? Previous owner painted them all silver. I believe they have the bowtie in the center with the dimples painted IIRC, just want confirmation.

its a hyper silver for sure. nothing your going to find at autozone. go to a local bodyshop and ask if they will help you out using there paint chip catalog. when you find a match ask for the paint code and your all set. and my stock ss center caps has SS no bowtie just fyi

There's some places online that has more paint choices than just the local auto part stores that is if you don't mind ordering it and waiting for it to get to ya.

Yes there is a paint code for the wheels. Just sprayed a set not to long ago, Take the info to a paint supply house that can mix it for you, cost about 25.00 pint, this is a base coat and requires clear over.

Nason Ful-Base BC, General Motors Corp, year 1993, Brt silver sparkle with effect, code 9967, metallic/iridescent content > 5 grams/liter

Good luck, Gary
