Paint color for 1968 cutlass headlight housing

I'm talking about the silver area. Any ideas what color to use? See link for the part I'm talking about.

Dull Aluminum - a Seymour Paint product - matches quite nicely!

Krylon also makes a dull aluminum that is a perfect match. I painted one 70 Cutlass Supreme grill and you couldn't see any difference between it and the original. It says interior paint but it held up for several years until I sold the car.

Yep. Krylon 1403 ......although...it seems like the newer formula is a bit 'brighter' than it used to be. Still very close.
