Wheel Paint

Hey. Does anyone know where I can get Gunmetal wheel paint? I'll need it to paint a royal gunmetal SubZero to look like a flat gunmetal SubZero. I've looked online and am having a hard time finding it. I would get the Rota touch-up kit, but I don't think those have enought paint to cover a whole lip.

TIA.

Yeah. I called Kragen and Autozone. They have graphite. I don't know if that's the same as gunmetal though.

I'll go pick up a can of graphite in a bit then. I do have another cracked wheel right here next to me that I can use to compare.

ucbsti, are they actually the same color?

Where could I go to have someone mix me the color I need? I have the wheel right here and I'll need to paint the lip.
