Question Silver Arrow touchup paint

Nobody claims to sell Silver Arrow touchup paint any more. I'm looking for a decent substitute in rattle cans. Is Reflex Silver reasonably close to Silver Arrow? It looks like it might be, but you can't really tell with metallics in photos. Or has someone found a GM/Ford/Honda/whatever silver that would do the trick?

I bought a whole new front clip and just got it back from paint. Then I found an aftermarket vendor for the grille trim so I don't have to reuse my old, cracked one. I'd like it to be close, but I also drive a lot of miles. It'll be bug-splattered and flaking off soon enough.

Thanks in advance for any ideas!

I had good luck with paintscratch.com - just plug in the year, make and model, you can always contact them to confirm the paint code too

I may end up going there in the end, but I was hoping to pay less. Color + clear + shipping is $50. The same in Duplicolor is around $15+tax at my local parts store, if it existed.
