If you have one of the factory center caps in gunmetal, I would take it with you to the shop you are using and compare samples until you've found the closest match. I did the same with the wheels I powdercoated "pure white." I was hesitant to use a RAL code from someone else and I figured I would trust my own eye better. The color I ended up choosing was in fact the most commonly used color to match championship white (RAL 9010) on the forums but I selected it by eye versus internet recommendations. When I dropped off the wheels I felt a lot better about my choice than I would have if I used someone else's suggestion. I paid $85 per wheel including prep and powder. Good luck!

Well I don't have any gunmetal center caps. Only cw caps. And Acura is on back order.

The ITR Gunmetal is called Kaiser.

I forget what the paint code is, but just make sure you get the right one. There are 2 different ones available.

Wheels are Kaiser Silver-NH-546M.
Another similar color is Solaris Silver-NH-536M.

Get a spray out card of each color and see what color you like best.
I bet if you switch up the color cards you wont be able to tell the difference.
