Default Painting stock Si wheel lug covers (centercaps)

My centercaps are flaking down to plastic and look like doo doo. I've tried the autozone paint for hubcaps but doesnet match worth a damb.

Has anyone found a paint that matches the rims good?

autozone and the likes usually carry the duplicolor cans in the touch up paint section, where the selection of silver paints is a lot better than the regular paint section.


or you could try http://www.paintscratch.com
