Silver birds?

If you have a silver bird would you be so kind as to post some pics? I've seen the grays, but I don't think I've ever seen a silver one and I'm thinking about a color change.

Re: Silver birds?

I just reformatted my computer, but there's a thirdgenner with a silver bird with a phoenix on the hood. I can't think of his name though..

Re: Silver birds?

I think I know which one you're talking about, but I thought that one was a pewter color.

Re: Silver birds?

I'm still looking to see if anybody has one. It would be ideal if it was a 91-92.

Re: Silver birds?

This is probably the best looking silver bird I've ever seen, it's painted Chrysler Platinum. It was a member's car, I don't know if he still posts or not, named FlyinLow89. If I ever get another T/A project car, I will definitely paint it this color. I can't bring myself to change my GTA from it's original color :P

Re: Silver birds?

I really like that photoshopped "grey." Back in the '90s, the Dodge Stealth was available in a color that looked similar. I believe it was called "Pearl Gray Tri-Coat." I always thought that color would look great on a Firebird.

It also reminds me of three other greys I really like and had considered for my 'vert project. One was by Saab on its 9-3 in '03 called "Dolphin Gray." It was non-metallic, just solid grey. The other two were by Audi, both on its TT. One was also called "Dolphin Gray," but it was darker than Saab's, and it had a "pearl" finish. The other TT grey color looked just like Saab's. I've seen TT's in the color, but I've never been able to find any information about its existence.

They'd all look great on a Firebird, IMO... as would silver, especially with black rims and a black/charcoal interior.
