RE: Painting iridium vehicles

Check the following web page - it has a picture of a small sample of
iridium.  The description says that iridium is a white metal with yellow
highlights.  The bluish cast seen on the sample may simply be the
refraction
of light off it.

Subject: Painting irridium vehicles

I'm going to paint a set  of vehicles Hammer's Slammers style.
One problem, I have never seen a piece of irridium.  The online
sites say "bluish white".

Anyone have any suggestions?  I'm thinking steel with a blue
ink glaze or maybe silver with blue mixed in, but I'm really
not sure.

TIA
