There's several answers on this one actualy. Seen it a few times and did a search when I was lookin to paint mine as well.

Two most common answers are grey and a light tan, didn't seem to be any set color from what I saw, bout I'm sure others may give you a better answer. You should be able to find either color at your FLAPS.

Myself, I opted for a grey/blue color that was used on GM motors of the same year, just thought it looked better than the rest.

1970 VW Volksrod "the Black Bomber"
2007 Chevy Avalanche
2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk,
2005 Harley Davidson FLHTCUI

I dig all cars, old and new, whether they were hammered out of American iron, German steel, or Japanese tin cans. Being unable to appreciate them all is missing out on a world of great things.
But thats just MY opinion!
