License plate bracket paint was created by Hardworker

I am restoring my 1970 RT-1.  I have painted the fenders with the correct fender silver from Marbles.  The license plate bracket original color seems to be a lighter shade of silver.  Am I correct on this?  I am considering painting it with either Dupli-Color or VHT engine silver which is a bit lighter than the fender.

Fenders and bracket were all the same color and satin finish not gloss. I’ve used Marbles before and been happy but others indicate sometimes not exactly correct color. If you still have some of their paint left then use it so the parts match.

I'd be surprised if the license plate bracket is a different silver to the fenders.
I didn't notice a difference on mine prior to me repainting them.
I'm sure one of the experts will be along soon to let you know.

Thanks Pedalcrazy and Pete- RT1 for the quick reply.  I do have some silver left, so I'll spray the bracket.
Regarding the finish, I did use a clear coat but it is not fully glossy.  I will likely leave it as is or maybe buff, but not polish later
