Touch-up paint for M54 engine covers

[mrscalex]

Has anyone identified a matching shade of silver to touch in the printing on an M54 engine cover? Doesn't have to be a touch in stick, happy to use a permanent marker, nail polish etc. As long as it matches!

Random image - not my engine.

I suspect the source of paint might be perfect. But I could really use some idea from someone where they have already found a good colour match.

The wrong shade of silver could look a bit cr*p.

Just in case of interest to anyone else I've found the perfect solution. It's a metallic silver marker pen. The colour match is almost perfect.

Where did you get said pen from?

It was from a local discount store in Swansea. But you could try any metallic marker. It’s the type where you press the nib l and it flows. Like the white tyre marker pens.
