Default Color help

I want a color similar to this, can anyone tell me where I can find color charts or what would be the best silver for my 89 GT? I have a cobra R hood, saleen wing, and 17" chrome saleen rims......What do you guys reccomend? The body work is done and ready to be painted.

Kinda, depends on what brand and how much you want. Keep in mind you still need to buy Clear.
Somtimes that paint need to be custom mixed. Theres a paint shop around the corner from me that does a good job for a resonable price.
He told me $500 for Clear Jet black paint, and all the Chemicals and harders ill need.

If this is an Eleanor replica, I believe the color is called either Mineral Gray or Gun Metal.

You can get that color from ppg. It is not gun metal or mineral gray. I dont remember the exact name of it but I know they have it. Call Kim at (734)421-1300. He is Bodyshop mgr. @ North Bros. Ford and he can probably get it for you. He does alot of custom work. Tell him Geno sent you.
