I just went to our local Body Shop Supply store and bought a 
gallon of Imron Silver which they had premixed for someone by 
mistake. They had a bunch of "mistake" cans there, so I chose 
one that just looked good. Imron is normally God-awful expensive, 
but this was marked WAY down. It looks great, especially if all the 
wheels are painted with the same paint. I have a couple of good OE 
wheels with the OE silver paint. They don't look quite the same as 
my paint jobs, but I'm SURE they don't look quite the same as 
they did when they were new, either, so I'm quite happy with the 
wheels I can turn out now.
