Off The Shelf Engine Paint?

Hey, anybody got a handle on an easy to get, off the shelf SILVER factory looking engine paint. I bought what looked correct from Advance Auto Parts (I brought a cam end plug with me to match). It looked according to the cap but after spraying it looks more of a light blue. Gotta get this baby together it's getting warm.

What paint did you use?

Here's a topic w photos of a valve cover sprayed w VHT chrome paint .
I don't know how well it has held up, and I don't know if he painted the engine w anything.

Duplicolor ceramic engine paint. Their aluminum is beautiful. Ive used it on a few bikes. It holds up great anf the color is dead on.

Eastwoods Aluma Blast looks good and holds up good.
