I can name that paint in 3 sprays.......
This 34 was at the car show yesterday and the more I thought about it the more I liked it. I have always wanted to re-paint my car the brightest white possible, but now I'm strongly considering silver. Would anyone possibly have any idea what silver this is? The owner of this car lives several counties away and I probally won't see him again til next year at this show.

A few years ago GM had a silver that looked very light and "pearly". It didn't have that gray look that many silvers have when they aren't lit up. You might check it out.

You might also check Mercedes, while several of their silvers are like HRP described, they've also had a bright silver. Somewhere in the back of my memory the word platinum fits in there.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

I agree the pics make it look like alum., the other pic of the fender don't look as much like that. I am kicking myself over and over for not asking the guy what color it was.
LOL! I am a Hokie by birth. Born and raised in Va. Notice the lovely tag on the front.........

The first model car I built was a 32 Ford roadster by Revell in the mid 50's.
