Dale, FWIW my old can of 'PowerPlus Spray & Brush System' 'PJ9070' 'SNB 150 Light Silver Met' says it's an 'acrylic paint', & notes: '...for many reasons variations in the colour of the original paint and this product may occur'. I've noticed a slight difference when I've used the above on NA8 OEM wheels, but put it down to the original wheel paint having faded with time.

Thanks for that info 93_clubman
My biggest problem is that its not just the caps, I have removed some paint bubbles near the centre cap and around the bolt holes so the paint I have is slightly darker around that part of the wheel.
I have painted one complete wheel, and although it came up Ok, the colour is darker and the finish isn't as shiny either .
