Default What paint should I use to touch up the plastic caps covering the lug nuts?

My 2000 A4 is starting to show its age. I have those 10-spoke OEM wheels (Ronals?) that came with the sport package. The silver paint on the plastic caps covering the lug nuts started to chip off, revealing white plastic underneath. Any paint (brand, specific color names, etc.) suggestions? TIA.

Duplicolor Wheel paint works great, sticks to plastic like lug covers and hub caps great and is alot harder than regular paint so it doesnt get marred up and chip right away. Problem is you probably wont find a silver that matches the original color perfect. Put the part number on them in Ebay, some caps have reproductions that look good and are cheap!
