Oem sliverstone: ugly??

Im repaiting my car silver. We're doing a polyurethane finish, then micromesh polishing it to high gloss for a "show car" look.

I've always thought sometimes the OEm silverstone was ugly, then sometimes it looks good. SHould I paint it OEM silverstone or go with another silver, like a porche or Mercedies or somthing?

If anyone has any "nice" silvers, codes or sudjestions Id like to hear them. I know porche has some nice slivers, but maybe Mazda'a wont turn out as bad as I think. Anyone?

I've always loved the Silverstone FD's.

Edit: You can't go wrong with Porsche Artic Silver either though.

Silverstone off the S2000 would look fantastic on a 7 imo
