I wasn't able to find what I thought was a dead match to the original paint either.Rally wheel paint,or argent silver some people call it,is very close but has some metallic to it. I used Rustoleum on my last engine paint job and am pretty happy with it.it is supposed to be oil and gas resistant and so far it seems that it is.I have a slight leak in the valve cover (all my fault) that dribbles just enough to need wiping every 400 miles or so.The oil wipes right off leaving no stains or residue at all.Last time I painted my engine I just pulled the tank and masked everything else off.It's alot easier than pulling the engine and you wouldn't risk scratching that newly done frame you got!
