Default Paint match Hardtop for stock silver Axial Rubicon?

So i have a Axial 2012 Rubicon with stock silver looking body.

I want to buy the Axial Hard top for it but i'm going to have to paint it. I want to paint match the stock body color, but that's obviously a pain to do cause i don't know what paint they used on the stock body. Like the shade,metallic/non-metallic,etc.

I want to paint it the exact color so the hardtop blends with the body, and looks original. Anybody know what color that is? I was thinking it might be Tamiya PS-12 Silver.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I bit the bullet and ended up going with the PS-12 a while back. Ended up matching great. I'll post a pick on here later.

Ok, so these where my results with the tamiya PS-12 Silver a month ago. Still holding up great.

Paint Match was great. only differance is the axial paint seems to have a slight sparkle/Metallic bits in the paint. but regardless it matches perfect id say.
