In everyone's experience whats the best for silver metallic paint? Durability not a factor, it will be layered over Black Label Paint Coating. What will be the best at deepening the paint and helping the flake pop?

Thanks!
 
Do Do Light Fantastic, CG 50/50 both rock silver and light colored paints. If you want to drop some $$$$ Fuzion

Here's an LS460 I did with Fuzion:

So...The PBL Paint Coating isn't doing the trick for you?
Then "top it" with:
SON1C Wax Carnaubavore

NXT 2.0 makes my metallic silver paint glisten. I had forgotten that my paint was mettalic silver until I used it a couple of uears ago and, wow, do those flakes gleam in the sun. Less than $20 too. Although, technically it's a sealant so not sure ot works well on top of anything else.

Optimum spray wax is also great. As for carnubas, Pinnacle sig series ii is great, but very pricey.
 
i use meguairs Liquid Carnubua and it shines like mad
 
I get crazy depth and gloss from wax with heavy % carnauba

Keep in mind that the lighter the paint is the less of a reflection you are going to get when looking at the panel straight on. You need to view the panels from an angle to see reflections.
With light metallic paint you want the fleck to sparkle and the gloss to be high.
That's what I tell everyone with light colored cars. Enhance and improve what is there fleck and gloss. You will never see depth on a light car that you do on a dark car. It's just color and light theory 101.
You will see it on a tight angle because you are minimizing the light being diffused back to your eye.
When your silver looks perfect and it's all polished and waxed and you want to see depth take it out at sunset when the diffused light is minimal.
That is as good as it's gonna get for depth.
 
It's all in the prep. Any of the top shelf LSPs will give you what your looking forward.
