Lamborghini Titanium. Much better than silver. Check my gallery for more pics.

Lamborghini Titanium looks spectacular, as shown above. Check out Mercedes silver too. It's very bright. A company called Alsa Corp makes an aluminum paint that can be clear coated, and I've seen a painted finish that looked like brushed aluminum as well. Here's Alsa's finish:

A lighter, brighter silver would be the 1969 Camero silver.

My Cobra is Black with Titanium stripes I was thinking about Titanium color instead of Silver to match the Cobra.

I was originally going to go Titanium with black stripes on the fastback but now I am going to do a flat black hood and tail panel, but I am still leaning towards Titanium for the main color, is there a specific color code for the Lambo titanium? Thanks Ryan

Mine is a Mercedes silver. Looks great and has held up great since it was originally painted in 2003.
You might be able to see a little better in my gallery.
Good luck...

I got my silver out of the Sikkens Color Map book. The color didn't come up to match any manufacturers paint codes, so I guess it may be a custom color? If interested I can get you the color code ( don't have the leftover paint here, still at the bodyshop). It really looks sharp in the sunlight, it has a nice color flip.

WOW!
What color are the stripes

dpmtrspts · #14 (**permalink**) 03-02-2009, 07:21 PM

The stripes are actually a trim color from I believe 2003 F-150. I'll have to call the painter tomorrow, to get the codes.

My "stripe" so to speak is going to be a big giant flat black hood with satin clear coat so i think all of the colors mentioned will look good. I am leaning more towards a more "tame" silver maybe like a TITANIUM color as it is not quite as bright as most silver colors.

Who am I kidding I am no closer than I was 2 weeks ago! LOL thanks everyone and keep em' comming Ryan

Here is my "Silver" inserts that I put in to match my Silver and black exterior.

The interior pieces look really nice!

I think the hardest part for me was picking the color for the car. First I had to come up with a combination that I thought looked good. Then I started paging through the paint samples trying to find the right silvers to compliment each other, that was really tough. It took me about 4 days going through the book and getting samples sprayed before I decided on colors.

My wife has an Audi A4 silver, that is headed back (end of lease) and I really like that color, leaning heavily towards that........................I think. Ryan

I am now a little concerned that the Lambo Titanium may be a little too metalic for the mustang, I am afraid it may end up looking like a gel coat metalic on a bass boat? Any thoughts??? The stripe on the SPF is pretty "metalicy" RY

I always liked the Eleanor Silver - officially Dupont 44490 silver or pewter with stock black for the stripes.

Then again, I love the stock GM Sebring Silver they introduced on the 63 Corvette. I remember that it was a special price add in 1963, a whopping $125.00
