Best kind of Silver?

I've done all the prep work on the '76 firebird and i'm taking it to maaco to get painted (the maaco by me does really great work if you live in vegas i recommend it), i've decided to go a silver color, but i'm not too educated in all the different colors of silver, i kinda like seabring silver, please help me out guys, pictures of your silver cars and etc would be great!

if your gona get it silver, have them add a ton of fleck. that will make it really shine like a ****. my buddies dad has a 77 vette that has 3 times the normal amount of metal in the paint. that thing is awesome. i normally dont like regualr silver cars cause they look to gray, not really shiney but if u go nuts with the flack then ull be ok

I'm not sure if more flake is good or not, but I saw a Camaro in Los Angeles that had a very large flake, and looked awesome. It just glowed. This would be a real good route if you plan to keep your modifications and overall look subtile.
