Don,
I always use the same paint for the wheels, valve cover and air canister on 
my early cars.  It is available from Moss in spray cans.  I believe it is 
220- 560 Silver.  I have also heard it referred to as Argent Silver used on 
many British cars including MG T-Series.  Eastwood also offers it.  The 6PACK 
Chief Judge will most likely be unable to tell any difference but make sure 
you point the writing on the canister " AC FILTER TYPE E730   ELEMENT TYPE 
AC73  Made In England"  up in full view from underhood since I know he likes 
it that way.

Cheers,
