Dave,
Ford used a color called    Argent   for its wheels at one time, and
that is thought to be  closest to the color of the MG wheels.

I replied facitiously the first time, but guys on the Spridget list  suggest 
Krylon SIlver (Argent in French?) and a coat of matt polyurethane on  top.  
The polyurethan apparently kills the "bright" silver of the paint and  dulls it 
to match the factory finish.  Now, how that can be related to  powdercoating?  
I have no idea.

As he stared at her ample bosom, he daydreamed of the dual  Skinners Union
carburetors in his vintage MG, highly functional yet  pleasingly formed, 
perched prominently on top of the intake manifold, aching for  experienced hands, 
the small knurled caps of the oil dampeners begging to be  inspected and 
adjusted as
described in chapter seven of the Haynes shop  manual.
