Default How much metallic in Blade Silver paint

I'm looking at buying some painted engine parts for my 2014 Night Race Blue Corvette. I want some contrast so I'm thinking about getting some of the parts painted silver. How much metallic is there in the blade silver paint? How bright is blade silver in the sunshine?

A decent amount of metal flake, but it's hard to get it to show in pictures in silver. Best I could find for you, hope it helps.

I'm not sure how one would define "how much metallic".

It's bright enough that when the sun hits just right there's a blinding glare...
