Default Color match paint for emblem?

Doing my first car show in a week. I've never done one before but I think I have just about everything done on my 2003 coupe that I had wanted to...

The last thing is the front/rear emblems. There are a few small chips out of the silver for the flags. Does anyone know of what paint color # could be used for a good match? Any of the DupliColor stuff?

Thanks-

Here is what I have used on mine:

Duplicolor Scratch Fix 2 in 1
NG FM 341
Silver Frost CC
TS
Ford

It is a very close match to the silver on the emblems. Not perfect, but worked well on mine.

I use a Silver Sharpie Paint Pen. It appears to be a direct match to the untrained eye. Fairly inexpensive and easy to apply. Make sure it's the Paint Pen and not just a regular silver Sharpie permanent marker.

This is good info as my emblems have a couple places where the silver has chipped off. Thanks Vetteman!

Yup. Picked some up and unless you have your nose on the emblem you can't tell. Thanks, Jack...
