Look under the gasket where the motor attaches to the heater case. You may find the original untouched/unfaded color and sheen. Here is the original color of my '54 FreshAir heater found under the motor gasket. The new Hammerite paint surrounds it.

I used Hammerite Bronze rattle can #HAM-41185 on my '54 AirFlow heater. I don't think that it is the right color for your heater. And the "bumps" in the hammertone are too large.

Other Bolters have done excellant jobs refinishing their 1951 heaters. I'm sure that they can give the best match paint brand and color.
