IPL Wheels color code?

So my IPL wheels got scratched and I'm thinking about having them repainted. Is there a specific color code that I can use to match the original paint?

I've looked for the same thing and never found it. Ended up just sampling a few existing colors and picking a close one for touch ups. Hope someone here can enlighten us.

Possible option

Found this Dupli-Color tutorial on how to apply their Hyper Silver rattle-can wheel paint system. It's a 2-step process with 2 base coats a 1-2 clear coat finish depending on the desirable look/protection.
Might be worth a try to rejuvenate your IPL wheels if they're in really bad shape with excessive curb rash and fading. Might even be good for touch ups and from what I understand, the other 19" sports wheels like the 10-spokes are also the same hyper silver.

O'Reilly's has it for $21.
Part #: HSK100
