Look on the tag on your fire wall under the hood it should say color trim and then it will have a number/letter code that's it...

All this work, when all you need to do is take a piece of cardboard into Lowe's with you. Go to the spray paint isle, and spray a small sample of each silver they have. Then go out to your car and see which is closest. One you found it, go back in and buy up all the spray paint they have in that color.

lol have fun matching the silver. :) My old body guy had to re-mix the paint for my Eclipse like 4 times to match the color when I had some work done. He said he couldn't believe how much blue he had to put in to get it to match.

I would say if you have to ask where to get paint and what to use, You prolly should not paint it yourself. It takes a good amount of skill to paint and have it look good. And to get it to look good you are going to have to blend it onto the hood, bumper, doors and qauters to get it all to match. Considering silver is a pain in the ass to get to match. And nothing is a butt match unless you have a mixing system and a shit load of time to tweak it till it does. Just my .02:thumb

It is either A52( Minden silver pearl MET)
Or A74 (Lofan silver MET) Darker silver

Look in the driver and passenger door jams. The code should also be in one of them. I am leaning towards A52, It is lighter and bluish gold flop.
