I really like the MotiV8r silver, but I would like to see it as a single color, it should looks really good by itself since it's a really shiny color, OR try using something silver/sand, I've seen that color somewhere else, can't remember where, and it looks amazing, use that mix, silver/sand and tell me what do you think, I bet it rocks

I can get you a color code tomorrow. This is very close to quicksilver metallic except it has some larger flakes. The gray is gunmetal......

when ever i choose a color i try not to use a 3 stage kandy for a base so i like to use a factory base clear color insted of looking at a chip book i like to go to a slew of new car lots or used, find a color in natural lighting then get the code and go have it mixed.good luck my perfect silver ended up a 2002 crysler town and country.

If you like the really light, white, fine metalic, Mercedes / Porsche has it nailed. If you like a more steel silver, little greyer and bigger flake.........We had to make that for the Prodigy Vette and MotiV8r cause we could not find it in factory color.

Wow, that was not much help was it.
