Default SBC RPF1 paint match?

Does anyone have ant paint codes or any paint closest to SBC?

I'm looking to paint some flat center caps and was wondering if anyone had found a color similar to SBC

SBC isn't paint to my knowledge. It is either powder coat or a plating process. You might have luck with some kind of black chrome paint but it will not be easy to match. I think they sell a black chrome paint kit at checker or autozone.

SBC (SPECIAL BRILLIANT COATING)
Breakthrough technology has enabled ENKEI to achieve a chrome-looking finish using synthetic coating and cosmetic techniques. SBC delivers a brilliant metal finish without the high maintenance associated with chrome and is used by ENKEI to maintain lightweight characteristics and enhance the finish of the wheels. All wheel weights are estimated.

I do believe it is paint, but no I am not aware of any color code. Its pretty much chrome.

This is a joke.

On a serous note, what about having the center caps nickel plated. It might be a close match to the SBC.

Oh, also, Work used to/has a coating called SMB, I think Super Metal Buff is what it was called. If I recall it's pretty similar in color. Maybe search for some color matches for that as well.

Plating only works on metal parts so if the caps are metal then it will work but plating plastic doesn't work. Then again powder coating plastic wouldn't work either.

I know this is an old thread, but wondering if anyone has had a solution yet. I'm thinking about spray painting the center caps chrome and then buying the shadow spray paint kit to try and get them as close as possible.
