Paint for R112 wheels

I am in the process of repairing some rash on a set of R112 wheels but I'm having a hard time finding a rattle can paint match. I tried the Hyper Silver from Duplicolor and it was too dark, tried "Ford Silver" wheel paint from VHT it was a closer match but it was a little dull as in not bright silver enough. Anyone know what color I need and more specifically where I can get the paint in a rattle can.

Thanks

John

PS These are the wheels I have

I have one nick I need to repair as well.

I researched this before, and found this article:

to be pretty helpful. The author used Wurth paint that matched well.

Thanks, I'll give it a try. I found a "Kit" that includes the clear-coat. Hope to have it by the weekend.
