Painting cove on my 59 Vette

I need some guidance/help concerning painting the coves on my vette. My question concerns what color/paint code would give me a silver/mirror look. I have attached pics of 2 vettes that have something similar. The 61 pic shows a color that I prefer as it appears to be more mirror like, but the pic is distorted. Also a pic of my car as it looks today, which has a 3 stage Motobase pearl metallic & SPI UV clear. Any & all ideals is appreciated.

I had not considered that the 61 might have been vinyl, but I did notice it did not look like paint. Thanks for your opinions & advice.
 
my first thought was candy black over bright silver . the first one just looks like light gunmetal gray .
That's also is a good thought. This paint job has been expensive & I'm really gettin' tired of repainting, color sanding & buffing, so I'm leaning towards the wrap idea. If it doesn't work I can remove it & go with paint. But one of these days real soon due to my age, etc. I've got to finish this or I may not last long enough to ever enjoy & drive my car. Thanks, Shine
