[W126 Coupe] Silver Paint Code for 9 hole & 15 hole OEM MercedesRim???

[Dick Spellman]

Hi Talbir:

http://www.landiss.com/paintcodes.htm lists no sterling silver.  As for 
the # of holes, I can't count!  The 8's or 9's are OEM Mercedes rims 
that are 16 inch and have the correct wheel offset for the 126 chassis 
even though they take a wider tire.  Maybe, I"ll scuff up the center 
caps and shoot them at the same time to solve any differencing in color 
match as you suggest.

In any event the following silver's are listed, it's just a question of 
which one is right:
140 silver Grey
180 silver grey*
702 smoke silver*
706 moonlight silver*
723 cubanite silver*
735 astral silver*
744 brilliant silver*
745 crystal silver*
761 polar silver*
* denotes metallic paint

Thanks Talbir.
