Default Whats the brightest silver spray paint??

Guys I need some help,
I've been buying various cans of silver but they are just not as bright as the original silver on the wheels.

Argent is the usual wheel silver colour.

I've used Fords very own Moondust silver to do wheels. Brightest silver I know of.

Thank you very much for the replies guys
Steve you did put text, at the top of the first picture, yeah a bit bright for my wheels, but at the same time some wheels do have similar finishes to that (jag, bmw) so useful for the future for me for painting up car bits that may require a quick cheap rechrome - thanks for the tip.

Colin, looks like you are the strongest contender with the moondust, thank you for the pics!!!!

Anybody know of anything brighter, before I take the plunge for moondust?

we wanted some paint for a very low mileage concours ford that needed the centre caps painting and as we know someone who owns a paint factors we asked about wheel colour codes,we then find out that ford actually use moondust silver as the official silver colour on millions of alloy wheels.
So if you want the original colour silver on the majority of ford alloy wheels its moondust 100%
