I am restoring a set of these Dodge wheel covers. I need to know what color paint to use. One of my photos is of a restored cover I took at Carlisle last year, and it appears lighter (maybe light argent?) than what is on my unrestored one. Can anyone help with the correct color?

Thanks in advance!

This is the restored one. Looks like light argent to me.

Looking for this silver-ish color. It seems darker, at least in the above photo than the restored one.

different light and angle can make that happen.

I suspect the Carlisle one was outdoors, you might want to take the old ones and set them up in the same orientation on a similar sun lit day ( clouds, no clouds etc)

different hue even the two you took
 
It use to be, You could buy a couple different cans and try them. Now its tough affording one.

The Carlisle photo was inside one of the exhibition buildings - all photos were inside. The darker one was just poor lighting/angle on my part. I still think the light argent is too light?
