There is no paint color, its a black basecoat translucent silver topcoat that gives it that look.

I tried a little of the "Testors" model paint (silver) that you can purchase in a hobby store and the color was damn close. You will not notice the difference from 10'. Get a flat hobby brush (1/4'') so it does not streak and apply several light coats. Cheap and effective, and I am **** as hell.

'06 Wheels on an '05 Model, what an improvement!

From what others have posted before, the closest match is the GM Ultra Silver.

This is a great tutorial.

Tried a small rash and it came out just fine...

As for the DIY paint scratch instructions on there....I suggest leaving it to the pros.... Mine did not come out very well....

Testors is a hobby/model paint available at your local hobbyshop.

as to the "Where can I get this paint...." If you can't figure out where to get touch up paint, maybe this project is a bit over your head...
