I like to think I keep my truck in excellent condition, it was my Fathers before he gave it to me on my 16 birthday 2 years ago, and he was somewhat OCD with it. It was always garaged kept, and regularly maintained. But given to me with 160k and now with over 183k it wasn’t perfect (but close ). Anyways I searched these forums and online for a week trying to find a color to match my stock center caps, and came up with...

"Hopefully this will be helpful to some.
After much testing, I've found the closest match to touch-up rock chips and such on stock [COLOR=#ff4400! important][COLOR=#ff4400! important]alloy [COLOR=#ff4400! important]wheels[/COLOR][/COLOR].[/COLOR]

It's Dupli-Color Import Touch-Up paint color code 77-00971 Honda Satin Silver Clearcoat.
I know, a Honda color but it is a 99% match. "

Well after a few calls I couldn’t find the Honda color, my local AutoZone said they stopped receiving that color more than a year ago.

So I remembered talking to a parts manager at my local Toyota dealership and he said something about a Nissan color. I went to my local AutoZone grabbed a .5 oz can of Dupli-Color 2000 Nissan silver (8800910 Arctic Silver) and a .5 oz can of Gray Primer. Cost me under $10. Used two gauges of steel wool 2 coats of primer/paint, and an hour or two later...It looks like a 100% perfect match.

Before & After below.

Also grabbed a can of Semi-Gloss Black Rustoleum $5. Wire Brushed, and used some steel wool on my frame and I believe I stopped the rust! About 4-5 hours because I gave each side 4 coats of paint.

All in all not bad for $15 when that’s the cost of one used center cap on ebay
