how would i go about getting the effect of my car being silver on the whole, and as you look at spots around where the light reflects there would be a slightly coloured tinge, of a colour like green red blue ect!

Where the light reflects! Do you mean leading edges or something! But it would be possable.

Paint it 3 layer. Paint a silver base, then mix a pearl in with binder (Basicly clear paint) spray that on, and then clear cost. Will have the effect in direct sun and on the edges etc

it's kind of hard to explain without using the right technical words as i don't know them, easy to explain is: if you look at a slightly curved panel, e.g. roof, bonnet, pillar or bumper theres a wee circle of light where the sun reflects off the brightest (i think) the area around that would have a hint of colour, add a subtle touch to silver, i looks good in my head
theres a light "line" if you will, just because of the contour of the item, then the paint just around that would appear just slightly tinted in a colour of my choice

As above you would have to put silver base and have your colour choice airbrushed on the leading edge then cleared over.But the sun/flash reflects white just like that pic so maybe the effect would be lost.

okay i have some painters at work that i might be able to ask about that, a silver with a 3 layer pearl of any colour, really wouldnt want it to be over the top so i'd have to get some samples
