Low luster or satin finish is good choice.
Yep.....a million shades of silver-grey.
Are you not painting center caps?....(maybe my eye, but appear lighter).
I went with a grey metalic center & bushed-clear lip on Arctic Silver Turbo.
Just got done paining TechArt GTS's (with machined-clear lip) a slightly dif grey center on 997.2 GT Silver to compliment Stone Grey cab top.

The GT Silver is the OEM Colour, the caps will match with out painting them.
Your going full circle, when do you paint them black with a Silver lip?

GTS's have the machined-cleared outer lip (not painted silver)......that's what I was after...rather than 'painted silver' of Formula Techarts.
GTSs come black of course (save the machined lip).

GT Silver is OEM only on the Carrerra Sport - so unless he had the caps painted to match they will be different than the other OEM silver.
OEM silver
OEM GT Silver

Looking good. I like the fact that you went with a Porsche silver, for Porsche rims, on a Porsche....good choice.
