I like that a lot better. It strikes me as more silver than grey. Some
of these others make me think "interior semi-gloss latex."
Back in the day (1998) Brian Cano brought his 69 2000 to Shasta. It had
the most spectacular SILVER! paint job I've ever seen! It looked like
molten silver just poured out of a ladle. I wish I had a picture that
did it justice, but I don't.
