The shiniest silver that I've used of late is Valspar Silver from their brilliant metallics line. It seems to come out very close to a polished metal, and has the convenience of being in a rattle-can format. But as Mr. Harding has been quick to point out, like most metallics it doesn't mix well with a solvent-based clear coat. It has to be left native if the shine is to be preserved.

The photo below shows the balsa nose on my PSC Infinity, finished in Valspar Silver.
