Have a slightly different anthracite to the wheel?

Spray the wheels, then go to Halfords and match the colour with a rattle can. They will have a colour to match it, failing that they will make your colour for you.
I wouldnt even try and match them yourself, and i wouldnt rattle can them as the finish will be leaps and bounds worse than the wheels probably. Go to a professional paint place, get them to match the colour, send us the paint in a wee tin with the center caps and we'll do them for you for not alot of £.
Failing all that, and having ALOT less bother, id get the wheels wet sprayed.

When I had mine powdercoated, the guy sprayed the caps for me.
I've not noticed them being any different but really, how often are you going to be looking at them / close enough to notice if it's a shade out !?

I got mine Powder Coated in a generic Anthracite which turned out to be about a shade off standard. You can only really notice it if looking closely and at certain angles.
For the advantages in durability that a Powder Coated finish gives over your average wet paint job I will happily take a slight shade difference, and I mean slight.
Might as well leave a picture where you can make out the difference most clearly. Bear in mind the centre caps are totally untouched, so they may even have faded over time.
