Center Cap Question

I bought these rims off ebay, the guy says he thinks there from an 88, my question is would the modern day muscle center caps fit these? im not sure what the variances are in the center caps and i dont want to buy the wrong stuff. Also i need to paint them the gun metal gray, anyone with ideas of what paint to get to match factory id appreciate as well.

I can't help you on the paint code.Possibly someone with a gunmetal gray Camaro('88 only I think for the body but the dark grey GFX started in '85 I believe).The center caps should be standard Camaro but try and get a set that has the factory style metal retainers.They stay on better than the afternarket plastic only ones.

well they offer new gm ones that are plastic, so those ones would work from modern day muscle?
