G'day Alvin,
An old method is to cruise car yards then wreckers to see how colours "age". Another method is to find a busy road and sit back and watch the world go by. This time last year I bought a new car. a nissan that has a colour called Pewter. I had to wait a couple of months for it to become a production line "run" colour. It was worth the wait. I've also painted my Cobras' chassis with a silver base coat colour. This particular colour is supposed to be mixed with other shades etc. It is so sparkley and brilliant that you can't look at in the sunlight for too long. Maybe a tad too much for a body finish. Try a decent paint shop or even a ford dealership that handles paintwork stuff.( that's where I found the original cobra Guardsman- Blue paint code and the colour that I liked. ) They should have sample "swatches" to look at. ( there were 93 different shades of blue ) there should be a lot of silver as it's the new white ! Good luck in your search, Smithy |
Alvin,
I have Titanium and really like the darker Silver tone. I have the PPG Paint Codes if you're interested. http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...7SPFAUS003.jpg Cameron |
Lamborghini Titanium. That's what I have on my SPF. Looks better than all other "silver" colors.
|
Was that what your car looked like before you left it with Richard, Cameron?

Alvin,
Don't clear coat that primer ! You have worked too hard not to spend a couple more bucks and actually put some paint with color on your baby! LOL.... Sorry I could not resist ribbing you a little about grey paint. I personally do not like grey / silver but they have always made me ride the short bus too ... |
:eek: DON'T ASK STEF :p

Check out my pictures for a silver Unique. I like it a lot but also like the Titanium with either ghost silver or black stripes just as much.

Non metal flake silver is nice.

Titanium

Do you have stripes on the Titanium? I am looking at that color, but cannot come up with stripe color. Larry |
I was thinking silver with orange stripes:confused:

I think Black Stripes on Silver look's great..
