Default Rally stripes (white/silver)

I had, for the last 30 years, been blue with white rally stripes on my '68 Camaro. The blue had metalic in it, and the white had a pearl added.

Well, I'm painting it again, and still using blue. I would like to have white rally stripes again, but I'm having a hard time with the white. I'm trying to stay away from a tri-coat on the white (for later matching in case of any accidents or other issues). I'm looking for any factory white that has metalic in it, or a very light silver with metalic.

From the paint shop, putting metalic in white does not work so well. I'm not really sure why... maybe the white pigment just absorbs the metalic and you don't really see any metal flake... seems odd.

Any suggestions on a really light/bright silver? Or maybe an off-white with metalic in it from the factory?

Thanks for any suggestions!
