Finished in Super Silver Metallic
This Silverado was refinished in Lexus Super Silver Metallic — a factory-accurate 2-stage silver metallic (Lexus color code 150) with a fine, bright metallic sparkle. The whole job ran on the Alpha Automotive Paint system end to end: a gray ground coat of Gray AP-7541g sealer, Lexus Super Silver Metallic basecoat, and HS Glamour clearcoat, so the color reads full and true and finishes deep and glassy.
Below is how the build came together — the prep, the products, and the steps you’d follow to chase the same finish on your own project.

This build ran the same Super Silver Metallic OEMatch vehicle paint kit we ship to every customer — no shop-only products, no shortcuts. The system is Gray AP-7541g sealer, Lexus Super Silver Metallic basecoat, HS Glamour clearcoat, plus Alpha urethane reducer, HS activator, and the TSS cheat sheet to keep the ratios straight. The kit you’d buy is the kit on this Silverado.
The Color: Why Lexus Super Silver Metallic?
Lexus Super Silver Metallic is a factory-accurate 2-stage silver metallic (Lexus color code 150) with a fine, bright metallic sparkle. It’s built on Alpha’s pigment-controlled binder, so it lays down without striping or mottling, holds its metallic suspension clean, and carries strong UV resistance for a finish that stays true in the sun.
Lexus Super Silver Metallic is designed to be sprayed over a gray ground coat — that’s the foundation the color was built on. Over gray, Lexus Super Silver Metallic delivers full coverage and reads at its cleanest, with the fine metallic sparkle showing exactly the way it’s meant to.

Silver metallics show every hand-speed change. Keep your passes even and let each coat flash — inconsistent coats are what make a metallic look patchy or streaky.
What's Inside the Vehicle Paint Kit
These are all the products included in the Lexus Super Silver Metallic Full Vehicle Paint Kit. Every product is already matched and compatible — no hunting across brands, no guessing on ratios.

Alpha Urethane Reducer (AR-3000 Series) — Alpha urethane reducer thins the basecoat to a 1:1 spray-ready ratio for even, controlled coats.
HS Activator (AH-7100 Series) — HS activator catalyzes the HS Glamour clear so it cures hard, clear, and durable.

Shop NowThe Complete DIY Process
Step 1: Prep & Bodywork
Every finish this clean starts with the surface underneath. This Silverado was blocked straight and the old finish knocked down with OptiGrit abrasives before a single coat went on. Skip this and Lexus Super Silver Metallic will telegraph every flaw.
Step 2: Gray AP-7541g sealer (Gray Ground Coat)
A gray ground coat of Gray AP-7541g sealer is the foundation Lexus Super Silver Metallic was built on — it’s what lets the color read full and true. Lay it uniform and let it flash before basecoat.
Step 3: Lexus Super Silver Metallic Basecoat
Lexus Super Silver Metallic basecoat mixes 1:1 with Alpha urethane reducer and builds in smooth, even coats until the fine metallic sparkle comes up evenly across every panel. Let each coat flash — patience here is what keeps the metallic looking deep instead of blotchy.
Step 4: HS Glamour Clearcoat
HS Glamour clearcoat, catalyzed with HS activator, is where the depth comes alive — it buries the color in gloss and gives you the wet, glassy finish you see on the finished Silverado. This is also your UV and chip protection.
Step 5: Cut & Buff
Once the clear is fully cured, a light cut with fine OptiGrit abrasives and a buff brings Lexus Super Silver Metallic to a mirror. Reference the TSS cheat sheet for the ratios and flash windows so nothing gets rushed.
