Looking for very bright silver SS

I did some searching but didn't find an answer so I'm asking now.

What color code is the brightest Silver Single Stage you know of? The one that is the closest to a chrome color?

I'm painting some minibike wheels and other parts and want a very bright silver color. I'm using SPI White Epoxy primer under it.

Thanks

An aluminum toner would probably be close to what you want. I've used PPG DMD 650 in the past for similar type things. There are a lot of companies making "chrome" paint now. I haven't tried any, Jim C could probably elaborate on it. Here is a link to Alsa's chrome paints: http://alsacorp.com/spray-chrome-paints/
 
Don't remember code, but I used a GM Bright Sparkle Silver from I believe late 90s or early 2000s to paint stainless and bumpers. Was close to chrome look but still looked painted.
 
brightest silver will always be a straight silver toner right off the rack. no other tints added. my usual goto for silver is a med high sparkle silver. on wanda its 2004 but the same tint is in every brand. I don't like anything too coarse and the finer you go, while still bright it will look more flat or dull so I stick with medium.
 
Thanks for the replies. I checked into the Alsa chrome paint. It is over $400 a quart. I'm just painting minibike pieces and can't spend that much for paint.
I'll check out the other recommended colors. Thanks
