As mentioned, Pearl White is probably what you're after. It's a metallic white.

A Reaper paint?

Yes, though there are different brands. "Pearl White" is the Reaper name for it. "Mother of Pearl" is the Martha Stewart craft paint of the same color.

Aye, 99% of the time around here. If we say just a name of a paint it's going to be either Reaper MSP or Reaper MSP HD. (Master Series Paint and Master Series Paint High Definition). If it's a different brand it will be specified. :)

Thought so, but better safe than sorry!

I have a series of different metallic colors I use for shading. It's a mix of brands of artists acrylics.

For white metals (silver, steel, etc.), from dark to light:

 

Graphite Grey (Golden)

Pewter (W&N)

Stainless Steel (Liquitex)

Silver (W&N)

Iridescent White (Liquitex)

 

For yellow metals (gold, brass, bronze) it's a bit different, as there are usually Umbers involved along with different metallic shades to make the dark tones.

 

For copper you pretty much have to go with a copper-colored metallic, then glaze and/or drybrush it with blacks, whites, greens, and blues depending on the sort of patina you're going for.
