Close to final blocking on 66 roadster project.. paint code is silver pearl. Will keep it silver but want one with the smallest metal flake. Don’t want big flakes like on drum sets or bass boats! Looked at Sebring silver and silverstone silver(68 color) thoughts?

The PPG custom color chart has a beautiful small flake silver, I am using it on my 64 and it just pops when the sun hits it. I think it is a Radiance color.

I'm also in final blocking and deciding between a few silvers and I keep going back to shadow gray metallic which is on late model GM's.
Liked the Blade Silver on a C8/C7 color thread and was the same as a 2015 Malibu color I saw in person at our shop and it didn't impress me.
Saw a Lexus silver which might be the Atomic silver people had mentioned, code 1J7 and Lexus 'iridium metallic code 'IL2' and both looked good to me.
Mercedes Benz also has iridium silver code 775/9775 that is nice. Good luck with your color choice!
