Generic silver paint? K12RS

I've noticed the fork sliders on my 2003 K12RS are beginning to show their 50k miles, and could use a good fresh coat of paint. I'm wondering if anyone has found a good source/brand of rattle can silver that would closely match the color used by BMW?
 
I've used this paint to cover a gas stain on the K1200RS engine cases.
It also matches the wheels.

Thanks Lee.
Is that paint's color spec'ed somewhere? I don't see it on the label shot.

The label on the can does not show anything.
Websites show it's a match for BMW silver wheels.
I got my first can from a BMW motorcycle dealer in the 90s when he scratched one of my wheels during a tire change.

My picture shows the old label. GTRider's links show what the new label looks like.
