From Moe at Cycle Garden (submitted by Tom Short) - I use PPG DP epoxy primer on bare metal and PPG DBC 2 stage as a top coat. From Frank Casssese - Harley V Rod silver is pretty close. From Hans Rosenstein - BMW bike color: Titan Silver Metallic (Glasurit 354)

Before painting the red base coat I sprayed all the tin with a gold base coat...it really made a difference...gives it a deep slightly metallic sparkle. Photo courtesy of Steve Hill.
