Default Paint code/color for Sportdesign wheels?

Hello everyone,
Does anyone know the paint code/color/exact finish on the Sportdesign wheel? Do they use Dupont or some other polymer? I am planning on getting my 3GS wheels painted in this finish, but I need to find the exact color/finish. I don't want it to be too dark or too light. Thanks in advance!

Jimmy,
Is that the color you are looking for for your TRD wheels? Or is too dark? Bob at SRS requested I bring a paint chip in but I don't have one. If worst comes to worst, we may have to bring the wheel in so he can mix a close colored polymer to the sportdesign wheel.

That color is nice as well.... I would consider it. If an actual wheel would work for color matching, it can be something we can work out.

For my TRD wheels, i am still on the fence. I might polish them and put a coat of black pearl clear coat on it. If this is too expensive, then i might go ahead and have it painted with you.
