Default Chrome Wheel Paint

Does anybody know the paint color code of the paint that is used on the barrel/inside were the balance weights glued on of the chrome 5 spoke wheels? Or a close match.

If my memory is correct, that's just a generic coating. I seem to remember someone in here taking acetone and a cotton towel and rubbing the coating off to expose the shiny metal underneath. Not smooth like the front sides but still shiny. Pretty sure that leads to a lot more things to keep clean afterward. But I think Duplicolor flat gray is close but not sure how well it'll stick.
