There was a member here, but I can't find a link, that was making factory correct paint for us.
You might find him, or at least have better luck posting this question in the C3 section.

I need for 67, 71 Corvette ralleys and for 73-87 Chevy truck ralleys.
The best match I've used is by Pro Products in Wisconsin, but they have a problem with their spray cans. After a few seconds of spraying, it spits, or quits all together. 6 cans, 6 duds. They know about it. Pretty frustrating to remove 4 tires, clean the wheels, apply paint to half of one wheel and the paint stops.
Volunteer Corvette sales a ralley paint, close but a little too "battleship grey".
Cheap Color Place brand silver at WalMart was the best match at one time, but now the latest cans come out more chrome.
Anyone tried Eastwood ralley paint?

Argent Silver is the color, but GM used different paint suppliers. Some years have a definite green tint, other years do not and look more silver.
