Default Painted Rota C8 center caps in bronze

Well I went to Pep Boys to try to find a color to paint my center caps to match my bronze Rota C8s. This was my first try and the paint did not match too well. It looks too copperish. Do you guys think it looks ok or should I repaint them? I think it looks kinda off, but not that bad. I'll probably just return this can for another color that matches better or just get flat black. Tell me what you think

center cap looks a little bit darker than the bronze on the C8's.. what about honda center caps. i remember seeing a hatch that had c8's and had a honda center cap that looked bad ***. but if your gonna keep them i say repaint them a lighter bronze color

just leave them off. i think they look good without the center caps. but if you want to paint them, i'd say paint them black.
