Wheel paint color, Ford dually

I've decided to leave the chrome wheel liners off, and want to clean up the wheels a bit. The Ford grey color is a good match for my motorhome, and the wheels are in good condition except for the scratches where the wheel liners dug in all around the rear rims.

Anyone know if there's a rattle can wheel paint that matches the grey of the E450 wheels (2004 if that matters)? I see Ford Argent is available in VHT, but reading about it makes me think it's more for ralley wheels than our duallies. Not sure if they are the same color or not.

I'm not doing a full refinish, just sand and repaint with the rims still on the motorhome so decent color match is important. I'm not going for show quality, but do want them to look good from 10 feet. :B

Do it once and do it right. There are hundreds of wheel repair/refinishing shops in every major metro area. Google and YouTube are your friends. Why not use the standard silver finish paint that you see on most factory rims both steel and alloy? I would contact a local alloy wheel refurbishing shop and see what coatings they normally use. Wheels operate in a really tough environment and require a very durable coating if you want them to look good (from 10 feet) and last for any length of time.
