Wheel advice

I just bought a set of 18" oem rims for my 2003 G35 Coupe, I hate the 17" rims that came with mine they look terrible. So I got the new set 3 rims are great, one of the rear rims had really bad curb rash, so I thought I would give the bondo fix a try and repaint it. After applying the bondo I realized I can't get paint that matches the oem rim. I painted mine with dupicolor silver, it looks like complete crap, not even close to the original color.

Does anyone know of anywhere in the Phoenix area that could strip the paint and repaint it to the original color? Or do I have to have all the rims done now since you can't get the original color now. How about powdercoating, can that make it look like the oem rim? Unfortunately I really like the stock rim color of the 18" rims.

Thanks for any advice or shop recommendations.
