I've searched the forum and Google and can't find a pic that is still up. How rare is SSM? How different is it from Tornado Silver? I'm in the process of shedding a very faded Royal Maroon and looking for a "purdy" and dark factory silver. Thanks in advance.

 

Shadow silver metallic was a S5 only color. Its fairy rare, I think Ive only seen one, and cant find any pictures either. Have you thought about the S4 Artic Silver Metallic? Its not dark, but a nice color. Then again Im a bit biased

 

A quick search yielded these pics. As far as I can remember, S5 Turbo2s were only offered in red, white, and black, so it would have to be a N/A car to find it on. These dont appear to be winning silver (its a bright silver), so it may be SSM.



Its obviously a repaint though, so who knows..

 

Just FYI, shadow silver metallic color code is 3G, according to mazdatrix

 

I like the Arctic Silver Metallic color on the S4 as well.. Of course I am biased also being as I have an 88' GXL with that color.. Good Luck with your search,

Jimmy

 

I used to have an Arctic Silver S4 NA, and it was a beautiful color!


So far I've seen one Arctic Silver TII in East TN. I'm trying to confuse everyone... going to paint a S4 TII a S5 NA color I'm also still considering Brave Blue. Thanks for the help everyone

 

someone posted a pic along time ago on a car they got from japan with Advan wheels, that was SSM. Im too lazy to search.

 

I would also be interested in a picture. I like dark metallic greys. My 86 and the 87 i got rid of were tornado silver metallic and im gonna paint it over 2003 mustang dark silver metallic. But if this shadow silver metallic is nicer i might keep it oem.
