I can name that paint in 3 sprays.......

This 34 was at the car show yesterday and the more I thought about it the more I liked it. I have always wanted to re-paint my car the brightest white possible, but now I'm strongly considering silver. Would anyone possibly have any idea what silver this is? The owner of this car lives several counties away and I probally won't see him again til next year at this show.

A few years ago GM had a silver that looked very light and "pearly". It didn't have that gray look that many silvers have when they aren't lit up. You might check it out.

You might also check Mercedes, while several of their silvers are like HRP described, they've also had a bright silver. Somewhere in the back of my memory the word platinum fits in there.

looks like pearl prowler silver to me..freind of mine has a 71 firebird painted that color..looks the same from the pics..check out HOK's..they usualy have all those types of pearls if you dont mind spendin alot on the paint

Yeah I believe you are right......look at the 2004 winners at "Mike Wet Willy" 1932 Ford. What are we talking about when it comes to price?

The only dealer of HOK paint in the entire state of WV just happens to be about 2 miles from my house. I went there and they have a pic of the above 32 with the name of the paint and it is Orin Silver. According to the sales person it is a 1 stage paint and it is $169 a gallon. The said that ONE gallon would paint my car, because it can be turned into TWO. Is this true?

I also will vote for Mercedes brite silver.

that is true because by the time you add the recomended reducer & hardener it will be about 2 gallons worth of paint..if you go this route..i would ask your HOK supplier if there is a recomended primer/sealer for that paint to have easy color coverage....169.00 a gallon aint a bad price at all for any HOK paint

chevy astro van sliver looks good about 1990 and did a mercedes for a doctor and add pearl to the mercedes sliver when i mix it i think i add sliver pearl to it in the base and it work good

Looks like BC02 Orion Silver from HOK

I agree iceburg. Is that your car? Did you paint it? Any tips for this paint?

yes and yes....no tips really other than make sure you have good air flow

Your car looks great. I think I'm gonna mimic the car in my first post and paint the car Orion Silver and put a black rag top on the roof.

The 34 may be orion silver but I guess it has a clear over it if it is that color.Almost looks aluminum color with wet look clear???
I am a Mountaineer by birth,how can you say go hokies??? For shame!!!

I agree the pics make it look like alum., the other pic of the fender don't look as much like that. I am kicking myself over and over for not asking the guy what color it was.

LOL! I am a Hokie by birth. Born and raised in Va. Notice the lovely tag on the front.........

Update....The car will be painted with BC02 Orion Silver from HOK in November. Hopefully it will turn out good.

A year later and I finally see the owner of this car to ask him what color his car is. And the answer is........................................

COSMIC DUST
Dupont Hot Hues

I would have never guessed that one in a million years......LOL!

Did you ever get your car painted? If so how did the HOK work out?

I painted my car using Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren "Crystal Laurit Silver" color code 977. It is a slightly large sparkly pearl-like bright silver and I get compliments all the time about the color. do a google or search ebay motors for slr mclaren and you will see the color.

Well yes and no....LOL! It was painted with Mercedes Brilliant Silver for the base and red white and blue for the flames, but believe it or not it is currently back in the paint shop being repainted. Below is a pic of how it did look.
