I have GM and it's really metallic and I feel it's the only other proper metallic color other
than the white. Otherwise I'm not sure if I'm correct but the Beilliant silver may not be metallic at all and I think it's the same paint off other Nissan's like the Maxima and Altima vehicles which is just plain silver. I think every color other than GM and white is non metallic.

Actually... brilliant silver I thee shiniest of Z colors and has lots of small metallic chips. As far as pearl white being a proper color??? It was designed for the more luxurious cars and thrown on the Z. A proper white would be a polar or arctic white imho. Pearl white. Nice on a G. Sux on a Z. I had a white G so I might be bias... but I couldn't bring myself to buying the white Z. It was like a lux color on a sports car. Pretty wack.

In direct sunlight it sparkles strongly. Under fluorescent lighting it can look similar to a polished metal. A close relative to this color was the Z33's "Liquid Aluminum." I'd say it's very metallic.

It's a metallic for sure... looks like polished aluminum in low light, has flakes in it in bright light.
