Meteorite is the AU dark grey colour. Colour code is K5, from memory. You can get a batch mixed up in a spray can from selected autobarn outlets, and most auto paint supply places.

I think liquid silver or meteorite grey is the best bet. I'd go liquid silver if my car was green. Wonder how regency red would look - blending with the rear lights.
