wheel color? sick of looking at faded center cap

So I'm finally getting sick of looking at my center caps on the painted factory aluminum wheels cause all the paint is gone. You know what I'm talking about, right? Those little plastic caps in the center of the wheel that says "nissan" on it.
Not sure how this happens, I guess it's due to harsh chemicals to clean brake dust, etc off the wheels.... but anyway...
Does anyone know what manuf of paint and paint code to buy to match the factory color on these wheels?

When I had my 4th Gen I found it was cheaper to just buy new ones from Ebay, I paid about $20 bucks plus shipping for a set of 4. They were made out of metal instead of plastic like the OEM ones are.

Yeah but dont the eBay ones have chrome Nissan logo's and a different color alloy than your typical 10+ year old alloys? IIRC eBay ones stick out...if I were you, I would try to find a silver/alloy spray paint that matches to some extent and after that clear coat them and you should be good to go.
