The top half was a custom mix of Parma FasBlack, FasMetalic Black, and FasSilver.

Or do you want Gun metal Blue?

Tamiya has a Gun Metal coming in spray cans (Perviously unavailable in the US), and it should match this bottle of Acylic paint:

I have the model paint, and it's a little brighter than the cap. It is a little darker than the top half of the Willys.

You can do it with cans. Use Pactra Pearl White then back it with Outlaw Black.

It has been a while but I think it was something like 1 part silver to 1 part metalic black and then regular black drop by drop to get somethng roughly half way between the silver and metalic black
