I am looking for an acceptable color match for the Metal Top unit on the Manual and Automatic WS Washer units on 1948 and 1954. I have a few that I'm reworking and can not seem to find a spray can that comes close. I have looked at Duplicolor cans with no luck. Maybe my sources do not carry enough variety. What have you used ?

Thanks for all the suggestions. I found a can of 1979 Chev. Suburban Charcoal Gray that matched good. The best result that I had was using Hammer Finish Bronze from Rust-o-leum. The trick is to hang the part vertically so the fish eye - hammer finish does not develop. This gave a nice satin finish with the color very near the original color.
