What is silver paint made of?

Any sort of paint has a resin, solvents, and pigment. Solvents are used to make the paint easier to work with, because resins can be very viscous liquids. Resins are materials that react -- either with themselves or with air -- to form polymers which can make a hard protective film across a surface when the solvents have all evaporated. Pigments are what provides the colour -- usually fine crystals which do not dissolve in the resin or the solvents. For silver appearance the pigments would be either metal powder or colourless crystals with high refractive index or, most probably, a mixture of these two types of material.
