Engine block paint color 1964

Does anyone know the correct color for the 64 390 engine block? Where can I get the proper spray paint to touch it up?

For 1964 the engine block itself is black. The valve covers and air cleaner are gold. Not a standard gold, but a lighter hue, I forget the name of it but someone else should be able to chime in.

Thank you Gary, any idea on the best place to buy that paint?

The black is easy enough; the gold, I don't recall where I got mine but it might have been one of those parts catalogs. It's not Ford Gold; it's lighter in color. Maybe someone else has a source, or a formula?
