Did you see the one in the "For Sale" section? It's one of the nicest that I've seen.

Silver Pearl Poly #986 Base/clear
PPG #32449



Bottom is before it was buffed and appears a bit darker. Top photo is after buffing and clearcoat. It lightened up a bit.

Painted Feb/2006

That is beautiful. I just bought the identicle twin to your car. What tires are you running, size & brand? They look great.

Not Silver Pearl, but Ferrari titanium (PPG 704C, Grigio titanio Metallic, 37032). I've parked next to Silver Pearl and the titanium is "richer." Just presenting another option.

Good luck with that. I'm still trying to get my 62 back on the road. This has proven to be another unlucky year!

In my opinion, the "best" color for a midyear is the 1963 only Sebring Silver. That said, the "prettiest color" I saw was in the paddock at Monterey where I saw a new silver Mercedes CLS and right beside it was a silver Bentley continental GT and a silver Aston Martin. Although all were beautiful cars, the difference in the paint was striking!!!. The Aston, and to a lesser degree the Bentley silver paint had significantly more metallic in the paint, and as a result, were significantly more brilliant (or in the diamond world) had more "fire or sparkle" visible in the paint.

Here a couple shots of my silver coupe, it is very close to Sebring Silver but in base clear coat with a lot more pop. If you like I will look up the code.
