hubcap paint

Need to repaint plastic hubcap on my 2011 1LT. What color would match the factory silver? I'm looking for a spray can type paint. Thanks

Not sure if there is a Chevy color code for the hubcaps. You could go to a autopaint store and bring in the cap and pick a sample that is close to what you have and have them mix you a can. Otherwise find a silver at home depot that is close and topcoat it with some clear and call it a day. Years ago I repainted my wifes hubcaps on her Camery. Took the whole weekend from start to finish. The repaint lasted about a year and then tossed them and bought a new set.

If it's just "1" you might want to consider buying a good used one on E Bay.
Probably less then what it would cost to try to paint and match.

Depending on how perfect you want and how much $ pain you can put up with (shipping & handling wise), I happen to own several extra hubcaps in various used states.

PM me if there is interest.
