What is a good paint to match a the Gray paint of a Lionel 221 Dreyfuss Loco?

Thanks

Well, you won't find it in a local hardware store, trust me, I've tried! 

You might  find it in a well-stocked hobby shop, you should bring the locomotive or tender with you to see how close you can get.

Or you can try these folks, they have a line of paints for restorers.

Good luck!
