The paint that I found that looks similar to mine is

UK - I have found the generic "wheel silver" or "silver wheels" in the various brands to be a good match (not perfect, but then even the "proper" colour won't match perfectly - not without Greg Evans, at least).

Thanks Dexter

I am happy with the colour match JC. Have been looking at VHT WHEEL PAINT to do a full spray. Hows you break going? Got any projects on?
