Who has a silver thirdgen?

I know there's Flynlow89's GTA that is Chyslere Platnum silver and there is a sport coupe that is silver too, but does anyone else have one? I want to have my car painted silver and I wanted to see all the different shades it came in.


What is the brightest silver I can get without looking like white?

LOL I think Devianb posted in the wrong board.
Try searching the reader rides, I'm pretty sure there are many silver thirgens of non active members.

Just had a scary idea. IF you have a perfectly starait body, then you could da sand the car down to bare metal, and get this "polish the steel" I almost tried this on my car when I was stripping down the paint with a da sander. From many angles the car looked like it was being polished Now you'd have to put a flame job for the front bumper and going all the way back to the rear bumper, and on the ground effects. Now wouldnt that be unique and Killer to have. Its the shinest and reflective silver around

you'd still have to finish the nose somehow

sounds like a neat idea, though.

maybe something to try one day. Heres an idea of the flame job, I still cant draw on paint Maybe if you've gone crazy enough you could fabricate a full set of steel ground effects, front nose, rear bumper, and spoiler and polish the whole car.
