PPG/Ditzler has a code for Argent Silver, don't know what brands of paint are available down under but AS should be a universal color/formula. I had a quart of enamel mixed up which was enough for 8 wheels. I had the guy add about 3 drops of green tint. I painted the backside semi-flat black first and then sprayed the silver. There should be a little silver overspray on the black, at least there was on Camaro wheels.
