Guys I'm looking to possibly paint my Mustang in a silver. But I want a good bright Silver that stands out. If you have an aftermarket paint job, a factory Silver that is nice, or just know of a cool Silver, I'd appreciate you posting a pic and possibly a color code. Thanks!

I think the key is to find a paint with lots of fine flake in it. grab the sun and make it pop. 3f3b5a0c-5ed9-4a62-a941-0773ff3c2f11_zps1796fa54.jpg

I love my stock silver metallic, YN code. I used to think it was boring and dull...then I took a porter cable to it with some m205, CG mirror glaze, and CG top coat...omg I fell in love with my silver bucket all over again. Brings out the metallic, looks real nice in the sun. Most of my pics are with a smartphone so you really can't catch the metallic in the sunlight

I've become a big fan of my car's color. Originally not huge on silver, but in the sun this thing looks great and it looks it's best with some mild shade to really draw the contrast out.
