Mine is star mist but after speaking to a TVR paint sprayer he told me the reason for having heavier metallic, The guy used an over spray method but the problem now is it will be difficult to match .

Don't really know what that guy was going on about there to be honest, the only way you can make the metallic appear coarser or more prominent is to either dust it on or whack the air pressure right up, but either will just make it stand up and not lay flat, which it needs to do to reflect the light prperly.
I've just had a look at the mix on my work system and this colour contains a load of extra course aluminium, so just applied normally it will give a real appearance of a sort of metal flake grey.
Car looks good Daz, liking the black plate!

Very similar, but different! Is Highlands Grey Pearl. Rather than a silver flec it has a more of a gold one. It also can look almost black in some lights. My Cerb is painted in it, I know of few other Tivs in it, do Google for images....if I do say so it is nice.....
