Since this thread was raised, I just received my CapOne Quicksilver One in the mail today.
For those who were wondering what it looks like, its not metal at all. Just regular plastic, but it doesn't feel flimsy. The front is a a flat steel grey color with a lighter lines running horizontal from the middle to create a contrast in tone effect, like a background highlight. No reflective sparkles like on the Platinum MC blue and white swoop scheme. The grey is in the same color family as my USAA Platinum MC minus the sparkles. The "Quicksilver One" and "Capital One" logos are written in a silver foil. The CC number, owner's name, and exp date are all a white paint. You can run you fingers across the entire card and feel nothing save for the slight texture difference of the white paint.
The back of the card is black with all lettering and the magnetic strip being the grey of the front of the card.
Hope this helps.
I am also waiting for my Quicksilver card to arrive. Capital One sent email they sent the card in mail on Wednesday. My Green Colored Cash Rewards card was recently PCd to Quicksilver. Funny thing is when I asked for first time they said there is no offer on my account. But when I asked again later they said there is an offer. My account is still fairly new. Opened this accout in April this year.

I tried the online chat route and they just referred me to check the offers myself... Then again my Cash Rewards cash is in the Credit Steps program, so I'm not sure if they PC it to a QuickSilver if that would nix my automatic CLI upgrade

Well supposedly you can now actually request a CLI anyway, however if your new Cash Rewards is in the credit steps program then you might simply get a good increase. Some people have been mentioning they got more than what they initially were told they would get with it. Also the CLI button doesn't yet work with HSBC cards, you simply get a message that during the transition (which is done, but not, I guess) that these accounts are not eligible for a CLI.
Awesome, maybe I'll be able to both. I'm in the process of paying for for a wedding so my cards are feeling the brunt of theses expenses, I know not the best habit for repairing credit lol. After I get the cards paid down I'll call in and request a PC to the QuickSilver One and a CLI on both cards, I also have a Unsecured Plat MC with a $1000 limit, the Cash Rewards is $750. I do like the Credit Steps idea with automatic CLIs after your 7th statement, but I've also read after that first CLI people get stuck at that limit for years 
Maybe with these EO contacts we can break the cycle...

My Quicksilver card also came in the mail yesterday. Quality-wise, it's definitely a step up from the "Create Your Own Design"cards I've had from Cap1. It's sturdier and doesn't feel like it will bend easily. My only complaint is that the Mastercard logo looks cheap on it, but that's probably because I think the MC logo is ugly

I just received my Quicksilver Visa Signature in the mail yesterday too (Saturday) and it is everything you described it to be.
However, I personally think that this card looks cheap on the front with the gray background and foil "Quicksilver" font design. Also, I really really really disklike cards that do not have any embossing or texture for the Name and Credit Card Number, e.g ING Orange Debit Cards, Discover IT, etc. This makes the card feel cheap and almost fake.
The white font lettering is on the front of the card for the Name and Credit Card Number, and to me, it looks as if it can be easily scraped off over time.
I'll keep this card in my wallet as my backup for 1.5% CB, but overall I'm not digging the design of this card, especially for a Visa Signature. Capital One needs to step up their game.

I was curious if maybe the Visa Sig version would possibly look nicer since its the better of the two, but I guess not. Sounds like both versions are essentially the same in materials and final design.
It is indeed a very plain looking card. My first opinion on it was... really? This is it? My other blue and white card looks much nicer. Heck, my bank debit cards look nicer! I can certainly see the white lettering coming off over time also. I am sure a new card will be needed at some point just for that reason alone.
Still I can use this to gain 1.5% on everyday stuff and combine those points with the 2% I will get on my other card for travel-related stuff, granted just for the short weekend road trips or overnight stays only with the current limit, but still....
