Does anyone have a good replacement silver paint for the front fender for a 1973 RT3?  What brand of clear coat is best?

Both answers in previous posts in this thread, but to save you time and spend mine;

Duplicolor DE1615 for the fender, spraymax 2k matte clear for fenders and spraymax 2k gloss clear for tanks/headlights.

Thanks Darinm.  I did find my answers in earlier posts, but not until after I posted my question. I missed them the first time reading through the posts.  Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions.

Hey Darinm, 
In reading through all of the posts, I see were a lot of guys post Dupli Color DE1615 but most don't have the color labeled.  One that I found had silver and another had aluminum engine enamel. Would you please clarify.  I cannot seem to find silver.  I can find aluminum and gray, but not silver.  The fender looks silver to me. 
Appreciate the help in advance.

Not clear what you are asking...  DE1615 is the exact part number of the paint.  Color name is "aluminum" if I remember correctly.  In any case if you get that number, it will be that color.

Others use DE1650 which is "cast aluminum".  I think. 

Both are great matches.  I like the 1615.

There are other aluminum paint colors that are an exact match or better’ but DE 1615 base and a mist of clear gloss is the simplest way to success…

Mark,
Yesterday when I googled Dupli Color DE 1615, that number came up with every color from white to black and everything in between assigned to it. Today I googled it again after reading your post and only aluminum engine paint came up.  IDK what happened. Regardless, I have my answer.

Thanks - Mike.

Finally got a chance to redo my CT2 the same color as my AT1C that Devin shared in page two of this thread. Here is the original AT1C pic without the photobucket stamp, along with pics of the new paint and my paint booth. I kept the oil tank original factory finish (complete with obligatory mid tank dent) to compare the metalcast color with Yamaha original paint.

Here is how it finished up. Not an exact match, but close to original.

Yes, that looks lovely.
Don't you think that modern bikes are boring as far as paint goes?
That splash of colour looks great.
