pewter spray paint? i am doing heads/cam this winter, and while i have the engine apart i was thinking of maybe painting the valve covers and intake manifold. from searching on google, i found out that duplicolor supposedly has a pewter spray paint that matches our cars almost identically (according to a few people on ls1.com), has anyone here tried it? got any pics of results? i was thinking a few layers with this color, followed with some clearcoat should look pretty good on an intake manifold, what do you guys think?

I painted it with a duplicolor spray can. I think it was the bigger can not the small one. it was truck/suv paint and it is pretty much a dead on match. it might be slightly off but not noticable.

Here's another really close match that's in a spray can....
Plasti-kote Vehicle Paint
VP-23 Pumice Pearl Metallic
It comes in an 11 oz. can. I paid something like three bucks for it at Wal-Mart earlier this year. Last Winter I tore my driver's side mirror off on a shrub at the end of my driveway (very long story there), and needed to find a close match for my replacement mirror.
