As a long time painter, I would say find the color grey you like and if it's metallic,have it mixed in a non metallic base. Don't limit yourself to a specific year. There were lots of greys made up through the 50's that were real close to the older colors. Breeze through all the greys and find one you like that is real close to the original color. There probably isn't 1 out of 100 people that could tell if thats the original color or not. You will be the only one that knows. Some paint shops are good reference shops, some aren't...just depends.
