Wrinkled grey. Initially baked on.

I do not know where to find a match.

It isn't available. I did an extensive search about 5 years ago. Rustoleum grey primer is a good color match.

Rustoleum's Hammered Gray might work.

This may be an old thread but do consider trying Rust-Oleum Anodized Bronze semi-gloss enamel. I've found this to be an almost identical match to the color of my ~'64 Magna Sawsmith. I assume Magna shared the same paint between the Mark VII and the Sawsmith.
