Volk GT-S Tit GM or Merc Silver

Guys,
I have decided to go with the GT-S. However, I'm racking my brain with which color to go with, Merc Silver or Tit GM. I have an 06 LP coupe and have not seen ANY Tit GM on this color, just GM. I know GM is too dark for the look I'm going for and Ralph004 has Merc Silver on his LP coupe which looks awesome. The only thing with Merc Silver is EVERYTHING is silver, but have not seen any Tit GM on LP. I've searched and searched and found nothing. Anyone have pics or recommendations on what route I should go? All your help is appreciated. Thanks.

Mike

ti gun IS a lighter version of the gun... check out gunmetal sf-challenges versus ti gun gt-v's.
anyways, you should go with merc silver... besides looking better, that color has more demand than ti gun if you ever wanna sell.

actually, there is a difference, the tit gunmetal is a flat finish, while the gunmetal is a gloss, not sure about the actual color though

i looked in the catalog for volk and the color listed for the GTS is tit gunmetal, along with gold, merc silver, chrome silver, RMC (Rays Metal Coat). There is an extra charge for RMC and Merc Silver. I guess if you want them in just gunmetal, that may be considered a special order color and you would have to pay extra for that.
