Dark argent in rattle can, I have some from Chas at 8774paint1.com that's quite nice.
The real stuff is from Mike at Alltrim.com but it requires a spray gun and it's pretty spendy.
All depends on how dead-nuts accurate you want to be.

Mine was the right shade, but you have to shake the can a LOT. Maybe there's a difference in how fresh the can is, don't know.
The difference between the two I mentioned - both of which I have - is the real stuff has a bit more texture and a little more "pop" to the metallic.
I'm comparing them to an NOS part.

It shot kind of greenish to me, but then I misted it with some silver to get the look I wanted.
