I know this thread is old but I just saw it and since a question was asked I'll answer. That is the same paint you see in the avatar. This is a more recent shot of it.

That paint job looks good loaded or on the ground.

(ie; is that what this same color looks like in daylight? ) I have a silver pearl '67, and considering repainting, but like the slightly darker look in your pics.... thanks. Mike

Well that works. That looks very nice. Silver C2 Coupes rule.

I know this may be an old thread however I am getting ready to have my 1969 painted. It is Cortez silver with a black interior. I want to keep it silver but with pearl added. How much and what color (Dennis and Mike) pearlescent did you use? Are both of these painted with the same PPG codes Dennis used.

I don't think the original 1967 Silver Pearl was actually "pearlescent" color.

I can't speak for Dennis; but my car , when purchased , was painted with Omni code 57U WA175E (actually not "silver pearl" but in fact "Platinum Metallic" ) The recent repaint was the same code, but my painter's preferred brand is Transtar.
