I think POR15 comes in silver. I know Bill Hirsh's Miracle Paint does as I
have used it to seal my springs, oil pan and other parts. It supposidly
prevents rust better than black.
Although Hammerite is nice paint I still think POR type paints - moisture
cured urethanes - are better. I've used both many times.
