[Kenwood] TS-830S Front Panel Paint Color

I've got to re-spray (too much to do a brush-touchup) the top edge and
both sides of my TS-830S FRONT PANEL. Talked to Ken, K4EAA, and he
suggested having a local auto paint store mix the color I need.
Unfortunately by the time I pay for the color-match fee and a pint of
paint and reducer/thinner, I'll spend close to $100 here in Colorado.
Can't see spending that much $$$ for one radio.

I'm hoping someone reading this has found a "close" match in a spray can
paint from a hobby, model train, model airplane, etc., retail store.
This particular shade of dark grey appears to be used on many Kenwood
"TS" series front panels.

Any practical help would be greatly appreciated. 73, Bill, w0ng
