Default Sensenich prop color?

I dressed out a small nick in my Sensenich prop and now need to apply some paint to the leading edge. I see that TEMPCO has a gray prop paint in a spray can. Does anyone know if this is the correct color for the Sensenich metal prop?

I checked the Sensenich web site but found no color info.

Are you referring to the Tempest grey colored prop paint? If so it will be a very close match. I have repainted several FP props with this paint and it works very well but you must let it fully cure.

Isn't it the same shade of gray as a Hartzell CS prop? I've seen a fairly new Sensenich FP metal prop parked near a new Hartzell CS prop and the colors were indistinguishable to me.

Just wanted to finish up this post with info so I can find it in the future.

I talked to to folks at Sensenich and they sent me rattle cans for the flat black, white, and gray:
Gray is Tempo # A-151 Gray Hartzell, Aviall item #A151
White is Tempo # A-152 White, Aviall item #A152
Flat Black is Tempo # A-150 Flat Black, (Aviall number not listed)

Aircraft Spruce only carries the Gray, p/n 09-00983, and is the Tempo A-151 Hartzell Gray. Aircraft Spruce calls this "Tempo Med Gray Epoxy Prop Coat".
