I am building an L-19 Bird Dog model and was wondering what Ultracote color is closest to the bare metal color that some of the full scale planes came out in. Thanks!

Ultracote is sold here under the European brand name of Oracover, but is sold under the trade name of Profilm in UK.
Whilst I have not yet seen it, I suspect Hobby Lobby's "PolycoverT Covering Material"
Click the Hobby Lobby URL for an on line colour patches (chart) of the actual material which reinforces belief only the sales name of the material has been changed.
Refer also to the Dutch web page which also has a full on line colour chart =
