There are one or two silver planes about. Glenn's gorgeous Berkut for one. 
However silver is a bit disappointing in that it doesn't seem to reflect 
the heat as well as I for one thought it would. Should be OK on the lower 
half of the fuselage although dark colours do seem to suffer from heat 
effects. They tend to show stress wrinkles.
