VR V8 - What colour should the engine cover bits be?

[VRVSHSV]

Hi, Just bought a HSV VR GTS and the engine covers have been painted same colour as car. Want to restore to original, any one know what colour that is?

the 215's are Atlas Grey, the standard 185s are silver. The exact silver is hotly debated between opal, asteroid, and hi-ho (HSV wheel colour)

edit - for originality, you want the paint codes that start with 4 not the 2's as they are the exterior body colour versions. 4 numbered paint codes were for other items like the covers.

Thanks.
