Default What paint to use on gold iridum oil pan

I recently had a bung installed on my Canton oil pan to help relieve some crank pressure at high rpm (plumbing it to my valve cover evac system). The oil pan was treated with some sort of gold iridium much like the Moroso pans. Any idea what paint might match close enough to look nice and also protect the new bung and welds from surface rust?

Good find. That is what I am after, but man is that expensive. I was thinking $10...not $50. I wonder if anyone else makes something similar that is more price conscious?

I've never seen a paint that can match that kind of finish.

Eastwood clear ? Not paint to match, but clear would prevent rust, and not stick out like a sore thumb. Not like a black fitting anyways.
Or paint it black so from a distance it looks like a bullet hole. Can say you out ran the Po-Po.... no ? To far ? lol

I picked up a Canton 7qt. pan w/pickup on fleabay for a good price and it was a little scratched up, so not pretty. I wasn't crazy about the 'gold' appearance as my under hood is all blue, black or aluminum so I painted it black to disappear with the suspension hopefully. I coated it with self etching primer first, then semigloss black, I'll probably wish later that I had powdercoated it, never ends..
