i just shot 6 greys

ford titanium silver (too light, good tone)
mercedes iridum grey (too dark, good tone)
mercedes palladium silver (just plain bright silver and not what i was looking for)
bentley granite (too blue)
bmw cashmere (screwed this one up and was not what i was expecting)
range rover nara bronze (a little too brown when looking at the suns reflection, but the rest balances it out even in direct sunlight)

if i had another sample, it would be bmw sepang bronze which only came on the "m" cars. i saw it on an m5 and it was really classy looking. a lot like my nara bronze.

but, im going to spray my car with mercedes mars red with the satin nara bronze for the stripes and wheels. it may be too brown for an entire car, but i hate blue greys. the mercedes iridum would be a nice primary color, but it can look very dark in low light.

do you want silver or grey? dark or light? blue or brown cast? id start walking some dealership lots and get some ideas. pics on the computer really dont work. it might help narrow them down, but you HAVE to see it in person. google images is a good place to start.......
