Default Respray job, Silver but witch silver?

The old daily hack Mk6 Scort GTI is starting to look a bit scraggy on the outside so its time for it to go in for a paint job and was thinking metallic silver as its a colour i really like but witch silver?

I like fords lacocca silver, Ford Moon dust silver but i don't want to limit it to Ford colour's

Witch silver would you go for and picture would be good

+1. It's reflex silver. I got my transporter in that colour. Got a pearl in the laquer and looks gorgeous when clean.

You'd be amazed just how many car manufacturers match up to moondust silver,99% of mercs are identical to it,one of the popular vauxhall silvers,Citroën silver it's just amazing.I always buy it in trade gallons as we get thru so much of it.Honda silver on the civic type r 2003 odd is a lovely one,vauxhall star silvers really nice and shiny but your best bet is too look around at a few colours that you like and get it mixed up at the paintshop.the vw silver everyones taliking about on here is a lovely colour,really pearly but still just basecoat/laquer.would be a bit harder to match if u had a bump though so get your painter to make a note of how many coats he puts on so you know for future reference.
