What Color Paint For The U4007 Handle Please?

[wyaple]

I want to re-spray this handle and am looking for the correct paint color to pickup from Lowes, Home Depot, etc. What are your suggestions? I would like to keep it looking as close to factory as possible.

In case you don't get a response with an exact color, I've read here that some have either gone to auto supplies stores to color match with their touch-up paint or to auto body repair shops to have them do the matching and mixing.

They WILL match the paint.

NO ONE will have 'seal greige"...that was a HOOVER concoction.

John,

Yes, I figured that the exact color would be some proprietary Hoover color, but I was more or less inquiring if Rustoleum had something similar off-the-shelf spray can I could just pickup. I've read here that some have used off-the-shelf cans to re-spray older Hoovers from the 30's and 40's.
