Default 1998 silver metallic ,looking for ideas or opinions

well my car is a dd and they paint is starting to need to be touched up.Clear is coming off the hood bad and small spot on the door and front bumper.But i have decided to have the entire car repainted this spring to help in the aesthetics of the car.But here is my question.The color is silver metallic now but i have always found it really hard to make this color just For lack of better word POP.So i was looking for ideas how to make it stand out a little more.

I was thinking maybe go a shade lighter or darker or maybe even throw some pearl,flake or something in .But i just dont know at this point.To me darker more solid colors have that shine and just draw you to them.Where the silver it looks good it just does not do as well a job to me any way.



So what do you guys think what would be something i can do ,I am not looking to do a drastic color change .So please guys give me some input.Here is the car as it sits today

Go with acura's palladium metallic silver. It looks great in the sun, good color flop too (dark to light)
