That's the color. I wouldn't bother with the satin idea.

I painted my 77 Camaro Type LT that color. I used a flat silver base coat. Looked great!!

Nope,
I know you hate non-matching engine bays.  But I'm staying Satin black in my bay.  Shiny, finished paint always looks like crap if you actually use your vehicle.  I'm not planning on waxing/polishing in my engine bay.  I prefer it to look functional, and fit whatever paint color I may change to down the road.

Interesting twist.

You could paint it your blue of choice and wrap the car with matte finish Xpel ultimate. I cant link you since im one my phone, but the stuff is pretty awesome. Would keep the paint from any scratches chips or fading as well.

Pricey, but in the long run could be very much worh the investment. 10 years later you will still have a brand new paint job.

I had a couple of blue recommendations but then I saw that House of Kolor bike and said DAMN!!  That's the color, end of story.  If not satin wrap.  I've heard the satin paint is a pain in the ass on upkeep.

^   That is the main reason I didn't paint my car satin black.   I hear upkeep SUCKS and you can't polish out defects.
