Does anyone know a colour code that matches the silver 18" performance alloys from 2014?

Touch up paint for 18" performance alloys

Well this is the damage I'm faced with. No idea what happened really.
It would appear VW reflex silver and Seat Luna grey have been mentioned before so Ill buy one of those unless anyone else has any other suggestions for a match?

VW platinum grey is perfect for the 19" OE diamond cut fitted to Cupras, but not sure how different to that the 18" is.
I got this for my previous Leon SE, matched pretty spot on:

Thanks chaps. I think the FR wheels are lighter than the Cupra ones. I had see the Wurth paint but not that many good reviews of it, do you have any pics of the work you did?
A bit more searching has turned up a paint code of L1H7 or 1H7 Audi Oxygen Silver, it seems to be the most listed wheel code on a bunch of VAG forums so Im tempted to give it a go.

Sorry I'm afraid not, no longer have that car. Was ok though had to be up close to notice, only drawback had to buy a full rattle can.
Well just incase anyone else searches for this I bought the L1H7 colour code rattle can and lacquer from paints4u and its a spot on match for the OE wheel colour!
I wonder if that would be the same for the OE 17" Dynamic wheels, does anyone know?
My guess is that it would be as its a good match for lots of standard Skoda and Audi OE wheels according to what I have read anyhow

Here is the colour match, it was blown in over a couple of inches to avoid tape lines. Once the lacquer dried I flatted it with wet and soapy 1500 wet and dry paper then compounded it with meguiars 105 to bring out the gloss..

It took a day but thats allowing for drying time, taking the wheel off and refitting. I think it was a couple of hours of actual prep and paint.
