Default Buying corsa blue paint?

I just took out my wheel inserts on my forte koup. I think it looks really good other than the small holes where the screws for the inserts go (you can't really tell unless your up close). Seeing the picture of the racing red on red makes me want to paint my inserts corsa blue. Does anyone know the best way to paint the inserts and how to get the correct corsa blue paint?

Thanks!

I didn't like the opaqueness of doing the inserts all one color. Here's my rendition of blue on blue.

Thanks for posting that pic, roknrolr; I'm looking at doing pretty much that shade of gray for my blue Koup.

Hey, KiaTech, which dealership do you work at? That one looks familiar

I really think you will like them with them off, especially with the copperhead.
