Does anyone know the correct paint code for Rally Wheels? The spray-bomb stuff is not even close to original. I matched it by eye to a PPG color strip but wonder if anyone knows the correct code?

FYI....I used the Duplicolor Charcoal for the center and you cant tell the difference.

The Duplicolor center paint is way too dark, and according to my original wheels the dark part of the Rally WAS NOT METALLIC. The silver duplicolor is closer to original but the metallic flake is too coarse.

I matched 2 PPG colors by eye to my spare which is in prestine original condition. If I am wrong or you know the correct code please post.

I used the Dupli-Color spray bomb and was pleased....but my eye is un-calibrated. I did notice that there are several different charcoals and silvers. In fact, one of the silvers was called something like "light" or "bright" charcoal or something weird like that...
Too Dark?
