Silver touch-up paint for windshield frame

[beylotte]

Does anyone know of an automotive touch-up paint that will be a decent match to the silver frame of a Taylor windshield? It would cost about $70 to get a small can from Taylor. It's not worth it for a couple of small spots.

I used Silver Birch GMC Yukon ('05) touch up paint on my shifter & it's a pretty good match!

Thanks for the tip, but I noticed that the windshield frame has a metallic paint and the shifter knob does not. I tried a couple of different Dupli-Color paints and got pretty good results.
GM 340 SILVER MET.
GM 501 GALAXY SILVER MET.

Both match color very well, but both have a different sheen than the original. The 340 seems to be slightly better than the 501.

The guys at west coast correct craft had found a very close match with an off the shelf can of spray paint, maybe a Rust Oleum color? You might check with Bob Bense and see if he can steer you in the right direction. He has posted his contact info on here recently.
