I have used hardware store spray paint of the kind sold as "Chrome" which is a very fine textured silver. It's actually nothing like chrome in appearance, just a nice silver in color.
My current can is from a True Value hdw. store, the house brand, Premium Decor, Metallic, Chrome, PDS94. I can't tell it from the wheel color, seems to me a perfect answer to shabby wheel caps.
What others have said holds true, clean caps well, sand with very fine paper to remove any imperfections, wipe all dust off, clean again, then spray, lightly but build up and avoid any drips.
It doesn't last forever, maybe two years, but it's easy to re-do.
