Default Under Hood/Body color

My car is Pewter and under the hood and body seem to be something similar but flat.. Anyone know this color. Next weekend I am going to hit a few rust spots and would like to cover them with the OEM paint.

SO what would you do ? go to a gm dealership with the paint code and they would have the paint? I know it,s kind of a dumb question, but the paint in a can from napa isn,t close

get the paint code from the door jam, and have some mixed up, maybe a quart or so? not real sure how much you'd need and have it painted. let me see if I can find the link in appearance section that talks about this very subject.

If the top looks like that, have you looked underneath the car? Might be a good time to knock it all out if you spot any issues under the car also.
