I saw a 550 (real) years ago in silver that seamed to have a gold tint or flake deep in the paint. It was silver, but when you looked deep into the color you could see the gold, very cool.

Silvers are like whites, too many shades to contemplate. I am looking for some suggestions, Porsche racing silver is on my mind, but with two part systems and metallics, I know there are some great possibilities.

I'll get you the exact PPG code tomorrow. In the mean time, the attached list are candidate silvers I considered at the time. The color chips in that WORD document are not at all an accurate depiction, however you can check them out for yourself if you wish. Best to find the car and have a look.

Porsche diamond silver. code = L97A


pictures really don't do it justice, this color has almost NO pigment meaning it is about 95% solid flake. It's blinding in the sun (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif)
