Rostyle color?

I just got my rostyles (thanks again, Mickey!) back this week from being blasted and have primed them. so now the question is: what color paint to use for the silver part of the wheel itself? I'm going to use a sprayer and wanted to buy a quart of whatever color I need from an automotive paint supplier and wanted something they could cross reference if need be. Any numbers that you all could recommend?

I also assume to use a flat black for the insets of the wheel but any paint particulars I need to know for that as well?

Thanks so much!

Argent silver looks good, and the black insert should be a satin finish. I looked up the code when I was going to redo those wheels and found the PPG code # - DAR 8568, but you should look at a chip to make sure it's what you want. Can't wait to see how they come out! Don't forget the Franklin show Oct.7-8.

Thanks, Mickey. I should have emailed you first and gotten your opinion!

Woodstock and I will try our hardest to make that show in October. I didn't get to the body shop this week to see how he's coming along, but I think they were going to start shooting paint on him. Can't wait to see it with the new wheels!

My neighbor just repainted his wheels and painted the insert the same as the body. It looks very nice. Just something different.
