Default Closest silver colour to Silverstone

What is the closest match silver coloured paint for Silverstone? i.e. a none s2000 silver.

I want to touch up the more hidden areas but not the main panels on show. its dear to get silverstone and they don't stock it at local car shop and wondered which other honda silver is closest match? or another manufacturers common silver you may have found a good match that i can get hold of easily.

Edited - incorrect word in topic title, it was late when I posted!

I don't know about the UK but in the US you can get paint suppliers to mix up a silverstone paint match in a rattle can, it would make your job much easier to spray it on as opposed to touch up paint. You might have similar suppliers in the UK ?.

I wanna say Kaiser silver is close to Silverstone but that might be even harder to find and I could be way off.

Yes we do, but place I asked was a lot dearer than off the shelf can and looked small. Its not for touch up but to spray the chassis that is for most part out of sight so wasn't as bothered about a perfect match. just something that looked the same in dim lit areas.

maybe one can would do all I want to do anyway.

Touch up paint in silverstone is $5 on H and A. As for my keyhole covers, I did them myself, you can find the DIY on the forum. You can also buy them painted for $11 from Js2k.com good luck.

chicane silver is pretty close to silverstone, it's the 08+ replacement for silverstone on the s2k, i think it's slightly bluer-ish in the metallic
