Default Berger Panel paint color choice help

I decided to do the Berger panel, since alot of people on here are doing it and it looks really good, so I went to PPG last night and picked up some really good paint. I bought the black automotive primer, some semi - gloss black paint and some Satin black paint. My car is Silver, I guess they refer to it as Sebring silver, so would satin black look better? I'm thinking it would but then again I'm not sure. I sure as hell don't want to mess up the filler panel so I'm going to take my time and do it right this weekend. I'd like to see some pics of silver camaro's with the berger panel if anyone has any, I've looked and only found pewter which is the closest color to match.

I'll take some and post them as soon as I'm done, I'm looking around trying to find some idea's as far as emblems go too. I might buy the new rear Z-28 emblem and paint it silver with the red bowtie and put the SLP decal on the left side. Figured I'd use the SLP one since I have alot of SLP parts on the car. I'll post some pics for ya'll though.
