I think the problem is the direct sun... But it certainly looks more Sebring..

This is my 2005 Silverstone Metallic...



Look how white/bright the nose looks... But I can't get the whole car to look that shade of silver even in direct sun after a full detail!

That's what Im' saying. And look at yours and compare back to the OP. Yours is in direct sun, his looks like there's shade on much of the car. There's no way that the OP is silverstone. Sebring all the way.

I have an 05 as well and I have asked myself that same question with my silverstone, but in my opinion the paint where the paint sticker is definely looks silverstone but your exterior seems to have a lighting that makes it look lighter.

There should be a sticker with the paint code inside the driver's door; I can't remember if it's on the door edge or the sill.

I'm actually curious, you should find a sebring and/or silverstone in your area and get a side-by-side pic to post up.

That's sebring.
THIS. Sebring Silver 100%.

Just look how the paint matches the silver wheels perfectly, that's the give away.

I've seen pics of my Sebring Silver under different lighting enough to know another Sebring.

I vote for taking and posting a different pic in different light. Now I'm wondering if it looks lighter because it's overcast so the glaring white sky is reflecting off of it making it appear lighter.

I still have trouble seeing silverstone, but F22CS2k was right, it does look like silverstone in the pic of the sticker.
