Aluminum Wheel Paint Code

I have a 2003 F-150 with factory 17" aluminum wheels. The outer rim of the wheel is natural aluminum with clear coat but the inlay portion is painted with a silver/gray paint. I need to touch up the wheels and can't find a paint code for silver/gray color of the wheels. I don't want to have to do complete new paint so trying to match the stock factory color. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Go to a professional paint store, like Finishmaster, and let them take a picture of it with a spectrometer. They will tell you exactly what it is. Typically, they don't charge for that, but you might want to ask first.

thank you

I took the rims to a paint store and they said they couldn't get them under their camera and they needed to be flat.

Thanks for the suggestion I'm going to try other stores as well.
