Help finding correct paint to refinish silver OEM R84s

Due to the brake dust tearing up my rims I would like to refinish them. Does anyone know of a source for a silver paint that will match the original center caps? Or should I: A) paint them too or B) not worry about it?

The reason I ask is because I picked up some silver wheel paint to redo a
set of steel rims I had. The silver was VERY bright and metallic, nothing like the MINI rim.

I am going to go checkout Eastwood, but any ideas are welcome!

thanks!

-Jac

All paint codes

EASTWOOD is good, I get a lot of stuff there - but not for paint

here's all the paint codes 02 - 08 as pulled from the Sherwin-Automotive site

(some one thought this was useful enuf to sticky)

With that code you can go to any decent automotive paint supplier locally

or if you want a rattle can off the web I've had good luck with
