Silver metallic bumper paint. I used Duplicolor though Plasticoat is a much better shade of silver IMO, but I could not find it again.
It is made to adhear to plastic and has flex additive in it.

You can check the level 2 ways. (not that I have ever lost a drop of coolant in 4+ years but)
Simply remove the cap.
Take a straight edge and remove the paint from the max level bar. Yes the coolant is easily visible (or not) this way.
Besides you want to run it slightly over "full" anyway to keep the hyperactive sensor from saying the level is low.
