Silver Paint Job for My 82 Spider

[hifijoes]

Been wanting to do this for some time, so im finally going to pull the trigger and paint my Spider Silver. My Spider has the red interior and i thought the combo looked good.
Now looking to find the right Silver Paint before prep begins , so if anyone here has a silver Fiat Spider can chime in here or suggest a paint code, that would be great.

This BMW Pure Metal Silver ( code P13 ) is getiing alot of good reviews, but i have not seen one yet as BMW gets 10K extra and only on certain BMW 's qualify .

Also like Acura TL ( code NH700M ) Alabaster Silver Met.

Like to have a med Silver with a little more metal flake in the paint.

Any suggestions ?

I used a Chrysler silver color used on the pick up trucks. No matter what silver you pick, make sure that you use a really good painter. Silver is a pain in the butt to get right. Metal flake makes it even harder to get even.

I had the silver and red - looked fantastic until the red upholstery finally gave up the ghost and I converted to tan.

FIAT offered a couple of silvers, you can get the codes from this list:

Silver was very popular in the early 80s. I think 3/4 of the cars sold were silver, or so it seemed. Silver with a deep red interior was an original color combo and it looked great.

I have always loved the silver exterior with red interior. Kind of like this one. http://gtcarlot.com/colors/car/280899.html
