That's exactly what GM calls it on my build sheet. Nice work. I like the touch of blue on the rear.

Top the OP; I bought a rattle can of machine silver from napa auto body supply. They had to mix it. It took a few tries to find the right info, I think there was a 5 digit code they needed, 67U was not enough. Also they used the VIN.

The paint matches perfect.
