Paint code for wheel hubs?

I need to touch up the hub dust covers on my stock rims. Does anyone know of a paint code etc. that matches?

If your talking about the centre caps, this is what I used. Dupli-Color T178 Silver Metallic. You can find it at most reputable parts stores I would think. Click on the link below for pic of mine after I painted mine.

Wheel/center caps

Did I see recently a thread about the different wheel/center caps colors and the pertinent years for those colors?
I searched, but 'found' no real discussion of the two or three colors used on our O.E. wheels.
Didn't mean to hijack this thread, it just seemed like a fairly obvious extension...
Any help...I'm doing complete paint, so I want to do wheels too.
Thanks, mile-hi-bri - Brian

There's a list of paint colors and procedure for painting in the "HOW TO" locker. I used a Datsun paint color for the centers of my 94 wheels (which are on my 92) -- I'd had the paint on them for two years when I wrote the how-to, I think -- they're still perfect. On the "grey" 92 wheel caps, I used a color called "Burnished Silver" that matched wonderfully -- can't remember whether it was Duplicolor or Plasti-Kote -- Got it from Advance Auto, though.

Sorry, the other reply from my Treo didn't take.

WAIDDAMINNUT! I just now noticed your name -- I'm like "Wait, that's not MY post." Well I'll be darned! Glad to meet ya, Randy!


Even more odd: Two guys with the same name, both owning TWO SVXes, and on this forum.

Filled In

I have filled in the "Subaru" lettering on a couple sets of my center caps and then painted them. They look sharp. There was really no way to repaint them and have the lettering black as original.

hmm, guess you just have to be an engineering genius like myself.. or not.. I repainted mine silver (let it dry) then filled in the letters using a toothpick and black paint worked pretty well

hmm yeah, the looks he can keep, also another interesting point that I dunno if you two realized yet, but in you signature you both have your name(obviously) then you both have a black bold line of text, then a red bold line of text... now you guys need to get matching/similar avatars..
