Remembering my friends 66 Chevelle, it had the same pipping. Just need to look at Bow Tie sources. The reproduction for GM A body cars is round, while door edge trim is U shaped. Plus originals were clear plastic laminate over the chrome, similar to how BMW window edge trim was done back in the 80s. I guess you can get chrome style plastic door edge molding and cloud it up with an opaque clear coat spray. It's a cheap alternative until you find the right stuff.

If you want very generic, most auto parts stores have a roll if chrome door edge guard that is basically the same thing.
