Default Paint Code For Magnesiums

I know I've seen this around here, but I can't find it.

Does anyone have the paint code for magnesium wheels? I believe someone said to use something other than what the dealer will try to sell you.

I scrubbed a curb the other day and need to fix it.

You may want to do a search as I recall someone found a after market paint that was a dead match.

GM Light Sand Drift. I believe that it is Dupli-Color 483, but I will double check if that is the correct number.
