Does anyone know of a stock rattle paint that matches the silver powder coat on new F A Italia wheels ?

I feel like someone posted that before... but I didn't find it on my first search.

I use this Duplicolor below to restore old Piaggio rims.
It is not an exact match, but close to the color of the OG hubs.
Certainly wouldnt match the FA Italia color as a touch up. But, if you wanna sand and spray the whole thing it is a good option. (I also ad a few coats of Rustolem Matt Clear Enamel.)

You beat me to reposting your post. I was on about wheel paint for awhile.
Cleaned, lightly sanded, duplicolor aluminum x2, matte clear coat x 2 (thanks Birdsnest)

I just want to get close to the new PC wheel color for the fork , etc., without buying to try... Maybe someone has done this ? I may also go with body color on it all.
