'68 442 Ready for paint...need pics of silver cars

Body work is done and shop will be ready to shoot color next week.

My car was originally the silver with green hue color....anyone have pictures of cars in this color? I started liking the peruvian silver a little more.

Any pics of either color would be appreciated.

Thanks

Code is PP- I had a willow car years ago...great color definitely shouts 1960's.

The PP code silver has an odd greenish hue- I've seen it done wrong many times, not sure I've ever seen an accurate color car. The peruvian silver seems to be more of a true silver

My car was originally Pewter, but I didn't like the green/gold tint to it either. Makes it look dull/muddy to me. The newer greys are much nicer. I went with the Peruvian silver even though it was a '68 color because it's a real, clean/bright silver that looked "right" with the black top. As a nod to the '68 H/O, I had a wide black stripe painted on the hood and outlined with white pinstripe.

Here is a list of silver cars I've seen for sale in the past. Maybe looking through the pictures may help.
