Any automotive silver will work well. Rattle can silver is not silver. You can get great durability by using a two stage paint. I used Nissan Titan Radiant Silver because I had some leftover from my "Other Truck". A base coat with a clear coat will last for quite a while. I know it's an expensive way to go, with a compressor, dryer, spray gun, Etc., but IMHO it should last as long as everything that's getting done right. If you're on a budget, you can always use a quality "Rattle Can" epoxy paint. The silvers look more professional. I've used them and have had surprisingly good results.
