Welcome to the Do-It forums.

M-F makes a silver pearl colorant and there is a silver pearl powder that can be added to clear plastic to get something in a silver. If you are looking for a silver that resembles a silver spoon, you won't find one without adding a mylar tinsel in silver to the center of the bait....pretty complex.

watch the silver minnow the glitter clumbs together and will want to scorch your plastic..  I Like the MF Silver Smoke Pearl colorant, you can also go with lumina powder but I will warn you about those is they can get out of control so add small amounts at a time..

I've added heavy amounts of pearl powder to various dark colors to get a natural silver color.  Usually added to smoke or smoke purple but really any color will work.

I second adding the pearl to darker baits. Really makes them look natural

Nice silver.  Might use it in conjunction with the dark silvers I make for very natural minnow baits.  The dark silver colors I make are based off of this old recipe posted by CCM JR. back in the day.

Yeah I was thinking of adding various .08 flakes to the color.  Need to order some.

That is my method as I really like the reflectivity that the glitters produce, and reflectively is what I want when I think "silver".
