I've used dull aluminum before with good results and also a paint that comes in only two colors but I will have to get back to you on the brand but its called cast iron gray and cast iron silver.The cast iron silver is the one I would look at. You should be able to get close by going to your local hardware store and choosing your own by looking around. Thats what I've done in the past.
