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.

yes, the caps are painted GT silver to match. i didnt clip the caps in in the pics because the paint is still fresh and i didnt want any problems. perhaps because they are angled up at the light is why they may appear lighter

Your going full circle, when do you paint them black with a Silver lip?

actually, the GT silver is 2 shades darker than arctic silver and has a little more red and higher sheen. look below for difference between arctic and gt silvers
