The new glove box doors and speedo heads might have a little more metalic to them than that 65 door. Or the 65 door has faded out a bit.

I have found that there is great disparity in the silvers on new OEM parts. The front bumper and rear bumperettes are very similar. The silver paint on the rear view mirror varies. The silver on the sun visors is different. Also the silver on the canvas top door handles is then another silver.
The silver powder that TLC uses is way off in my opinion. I did get the powder shop here to use a metallic silver (Morton-Anodized Aluminum) and then they extended the bake cycle to darken the powder to match the new OEM front bumper.
I have also found that acrylic enamel is easier to spray in metallic that acrylic urethane.
