If duplicolor doesn't make it, then i would go to a local paint shop and have them match it for you. They'll charge you $12 and put it in a aerosol can but the result will be MUCH better than just choosing the "closest" one. Otherwise, you can always have it painted. And good luck. Also, be sure to use rubbing alcohol or a wipe pad to clear the thing you want to paint before anything.

Your best bet is to go to a paint shop. They will have the perfect match. I brought one of those duplicolor in satin silver and it was too dark.

i used satin silver to paint my moldings and side skirt, front grill, and rear lip....it matched up really nice, but what made it match up really well was the tons of clear coat i used :lol:

here's a picture of the moldings and side skirt

VSM Duplicolor

The Satin Silver Metallic does not match well with 96-2000 Honda Civic VSM because it's for the newer Civic models like 2001+. The two closest match is the Duplicolor Ultra Silver Metallic and Frost Silver Metallic. Here is the side by side pictures of the two cans but it looks like the Frost Silver Metallic is the best match when seeing it in person. Hope it'll save you some $7 on testing some other silver spray paints.
