Hi Joe. It would toggle from silver to black depending on the viewing angle and the way the light hits it.

I looked at the one Dodge uses on the Viper and it does a nice flop for sure.

Hey I just realized I had some replies to this post, and yes by flop I'm mean looking straight on at the paint you see the color, look at it on an angle and the color changes. Honda has a nice silver but it flops blue, some silvers don't flop they just look silver from any angle, some look gray, but it's difficult to find silver that flops dark black . I have been looking at Iconic silver, it's close to what I'm looking for. I need to study the paint process more to see how the base coat will effect how it flops. I'll have to look at Kindigit's
Thanks for you replies

Looked at the Viper silver, it's called billet silver and I see it on a lot of jeeps, always catches my eye
Thanks
