Silver paint for cheesegrater alloys

[grogee]

Has anyone got any idea what sort of silver the cheesegraters are painted in? I've got some centre squares/hub covers (repro ones) that are primered but not finished.

I could do with an idea of what shade to paint them in!

Thanks
George

There was a discussion on here a few years ago, not 100% conclusive but it seems that Sparkle Silver would be too bright, Silver leaf would be closer. I have an unused Halfords rattle can of silver leaf which I'll throw in with the others parts when you get them.

here's the thread
