Default Correct 58 silver cove paint code

Been searching all afternoon on here for C1 cove color threads. I’ve found many for every year except the one I need. What is the correct silver paint code for the coves on a 58? From what I’ve found for other C1 years it’s not Inca Silver but rather what folks are calling “metallic silver”. Can’t seem to find a thread that specifies what that metallic silver paint code is though. I’m not sure if all the later year C1’s used the same silver in the coves but I’m looking for what would have been used on a 1958 model.
