Can anyone help Steve with this query??

========================

Hi,

I'm restoring a 1958 MG Magnette Varitone to as near showroom as I can get, but I'm having a problem finding the correct colour for the Dunlop Steel Wheels. I know they were silver but from memories of actually seeing brand new rims on the production line, in Coventry, in the 60's, most of the silver paints around now are too "silver". I seem to remember it was more of a silver grey. Obviously any paint code or manufacturer would be enormously helpful!

Many thanks,
Steve

Silverhook does a "Steel Wheels" paint which is quite grey.
