The silver paint on the new 'Stang should be perfectly fine. EVERY car company out there had a couple years where they had problems with one or a couple of thier colors. But now days the paint process and the paint/clear coat is good to where as long as you take care of your ride, it will look good for all its life.

the main problem with the 80's factory paints peeling was the E-coat primer was to hard, and the water-borne paint wouldnt stick to it, plus they were not clear coated back then either.
the new process is much better, you should have a nice looking silver that will last years with resonable care!

BTW, the main reason for blending is to get the metalics, or color to blend out right, paint even out of the same can will raely match, due to air pressure at the gun, technique, etc.
