Searching for the most vibrant- brightest Silver available OR how to enhance it.

Hello everyone. i am new to this site. My name is Anton and i am in the process of getting ready to paint my landcruiser. It was once a pale stock white and i actually thought about going back to white but still "white is white" without adding a pearl. I decided to go with silver or silver metallic but I want this silver to actually POP! Ive done quite a bit of fab work to it {shaving off everything, fabbing some new things}.

So what components could i add to bringforth a truly dazzling retina burning silver?

When I was shopping for a super brite silver for a Vette I painted, I found that the new Mercedes silver was the brightest, cleanest in my eyes.

I did a Corvette with WA 9967 ...it is a wheel color. Check it out here. I like the polyester base like Diamont http://www.slickpaint.com/index.php?p=1_21_Corvettes

You can put just about any silver on it and to make it really pop get Ultra Mini Silver Flakes from HoK and either shoot it in your first coats of clear or get their SG 150 Intercoat clear. Less is better than more when it comes to flakes or pearls.

along with whats been suggested, I would suggest to also use SPI universal clear. the stuff has amazing DOI.
