If I can find a place that has the silver krylon I'll spray mine today. Been to quite a few places already this morning and no one has silver. So, I'll let you know. Phil 98 Silver Frost #2059

They had Plasti-kote in Silver frost so I bought a can of it. I doubt it works like the Krylon Fusion but its prob going to be slim to none chance of finding Krylon in Silver Frost or even plain silver. Anyway it doesnt matter b/c if the color doesnt match pefect it will look like hell. Guess Im gonna have to try Home depot or something else. LUCA....any luck finding some?

I'd try experimenting with that a bit. * Marine Officer Candidate * My Cardomain Page 1998 EO Black SVTC #3388

I saw an add that said Sears carries it, I just need to find time to go there. Home Depot around here doesn't carry the Krylon brand. Phil 98 Silver Frost #2059

Even the slightest difference is noticable. I painted mine w/ a supposed "silver frost" duplicolor and you can see a diff. Justin 98.5 CSVT # 4887 of 6535 (born 2/28/98)

I have paint from PaintScratch.com. It didn't come out very good the first time I painted it so I was going to try the Krylon if it matched. I had to sand the trim ring after I painted it as it came out dull looking. I don't know why that happened, it was prep'd properly. Phil 98 Silver Frost #2059
