What color are the five painted areas on a 1966 hubcap? It looks like a "cast aluminum" or a light gray metallic color. What is correct, and what is available that is close?

Re: 1966 Hupcaps: What color of paint?
NAPA's 'cast iron' spray paint is about dead nuts on! Most of the retail outlets don't stock it, but if you ask the counterman he can have a can shipped from the warehouse for you to pickup the next day. Next, remember this paint is NOT going to adhere to the underlying SS surface!
If you don't do a 2-step paint job with the first coat being a self-etchant primer (SEM makes a good one available at just about any auto paint distributor OR through the Eastwood catalog), expect to see your accent paint chip and float away the first time you wash the wheel covers in a quarter car wash with power wand applicator!
