    Bring a center cap with good paint on it still to a paint shop. Some paint shops can scan it and give you a nearly perfect color match.

    I did this with a utility panel on my house so I could've painted some conduit to match my stucco.

Replaced stock radio with a Pioneer AVH series head unit. Focal component system w/a 10" sub powered by 2 Alpine amps. Weathertech floor mats. Line-X'd the bed. SCS Ray 10’s, Installed an A.R.E. MX series camper shell. All-Pro Apex front bumper w/ All-Pro skid plates all the way back to the Trans. Low Range fuel skid plate.
    Saw a thread awhile back and a guy showed the can- color# to the cab that was a perfect match. I need the same thing because of my center caps. Their 3rd gen 4Runner 5 Star wheels and the same color as the Tacoma/Tundra wheels.

    Here's what I used. Matched pretty nicely. Found it in stock at the local Auto Zone.

    Excellent, thanks.

    Dupli-color Universal Silver Metallic. (just in case the photo goes bye-bye.)

    That paint is almost a perfect match to Lunar Mist too. Those spray cans also have an excellent nozzle too. I have done several touch-ups on my '04, and they are almost unnoticeable, with otherwise proper prep.

    I haven't gotten any yet, but I did see that DupliColor also makes a Lunar Mist Silver Metallic Toyota Exact-Match Automotive Paint (BTY1602)... I wonder how close the formulation is to the Universal Silver.
