Default Rhodium Silver paint for ZT dash??

Does anyone know if any aerosol cans of paint are available anywhere that either match, or closely match, the rhodium silver of the ZT dash? I have the chance of acquiring a switch panel with the extra holes I need, but it's in oak, so was wondering if I could paint it to match.

Be easier to get a panel with the correct number of holes from one of the breakers on here.

Depends how many holes! The higher the number the rarer they are. Regarding paint, Audi Quartz Grey is as good a match as I've found.

The pic below is a hazard/lock switch panel I modified and painted but never got round to using.

You'll never match the finish of the OEM dash panels. The switch panel is bang in the middle of everything and I reckon a DIY paint job will stick out like a sore thumb. Good advice on trying for a genuine rhodium one. They do come up on eBay now and then.
