Paint for sparkle silver Aspecs

Does anyone know where I can get some paint thats either exactly the same or close to the color of the Sparkle Silver aspecs? I was thinking of painting my brake calipers that color. Thanks.

Yo man, how you been? Long time. Ummm, definitely don't buy it from the dealer. They either won't sell such a paint or they will rip you off on that. I got a guy who refinished my A-Specs and matched the paint perfectly. It is a wheels shop but I don't know if he can hook you up with the paint or not. It's worth a shot though.

Here is what you are looking for...

Here is a link to a paint supplier that I use. I have an Anthracite metallic 04/TL. I think the Anthracite color is hard to match. Well this company matched it perfectly and has great customer service. I ordered my paint in aerosol cans and painted my calipers. The match is perfect. In fact, they matched the color of my car better than my bumpers match the car. And you know that Anthracite has 'metel flakes', and that matches too.

here is the link...

^^true..Didn't even think about that, but it might be too much of what im looking to spend to do this. I was looking at the dupli color silver paint. It doesn't look like an exact much but it doesn't look bad either.

I gave them the paint code on the website. They matched the paint based on the paint code (and Make/model). It is a perfect match.
