Vinyl wrap color

Does anyone know if anyone makes a vinyl wrap that will match the Sebring Silver on my 97? I'd like to wrap the nose on mine to protect it.
Thanks!

Sway bar question

Anybody running the Steinjager J0015194 sway bars with their HD adjustable end links? They seem to be the same size as C6Z51 bars. Price is great and I've read some good reviews.
