78/79 Dodge Magnum GT wheel color ?

Does anyone know what color the 1978/79 Magnum GT wheels were painted ( police type looking wheel )...and if you can buy it in spray can. ??

I have a magnum GT and the wheel paint is textured gray.
I’d compare it to rally wheels center cap paint, though maybe closer shade of gray to a ‘71 center than a ‘70.
Totally Auto sold this type of product but they are gone.
I think they sold their paint line to Herbs. Sadly Herbs shows the darker gray shade out of stock.

Was there a lighter color , or maybe it's just the angle or lighting of the photo...I've seen photos of a lighter color, ?

That was in taken my garage, but I also have a ‘70 Challenger with the SE rear trim panel that has the light to medium textured gray finish as does its grill, and a ‘71 Challenger with rally wheels and the darker textured gray finish center caps, and the Magnums wheels seem closer to the ‘71 centers. Though maybe in between. My front wheels are a little darker, but I’m pretty sure that’s from brake dust from the disc brakes.

Thank you, that looks like the color I'm thinking of.

Actually looks pretty close to the finish on a Challenger SE finish panel. But darker than a 70 Rally wheels center cap.

Coincidentally a thread just got started on an E body forum on textured gray paint.

Hey are those textured finishes very hard to keep clean ?, also would you have any pictures of the darker version of that paint on wheels ?
