Sparkle silver is what my focus wheels were refurbished in. Very bright and of course, sparkly.

Not too sure mate. It was just a mobile refurb guy that picked it.

Might just have to flick through some colour chips. But hard to see what it will look like.

Most people use vaux star silver for alloys don't they? I don't think it's quite course enough Metallic though.
Anyway you can use vaux star silver and add more metallic?

Always though the standard colour on my CR-Z wheels looked great. Very bright.

Surely you have the tools to paint match to an existing alloy?

I used to do standard sets in BMW 354 Titan silver.
For the less sparkly I used the du pont scheme 1640wb binder and 25% 1532 tinter. Good fine silver.
