There are on wrinkle paint colors other than black available on the market.

Approaches:

-Overcoat a black wrinkle job
-Experiment with heavy application of gray and baking/heat treating
-Powder coating by professional

-Good paint stores (e.g. Sherwin Williams) and auto paint suppliers can custom match colors

Glen K9STH has a page of color matching formulas for various manufacturers.

I like the light gray overcoat on the black wrinkle job.....

Consider some where just black.  I have had several.  A grey and two black wrinkle.  Inside and out black.  Not repaints.

What I did is to remove the bottom inside cover and take that to the paint store. They matched it and canned the paint for me.
