Possibly A Female Banded Garden Spider. Mostly light brown with black stripes all over and had two small yellow stripes on its belly and the top was silver. Was about 2 to 3 inches from tip to tip of legs.
Found on a gas pump.

RICHMOND, 
Banded Garden Spider? Saw some pictures online that looked similar but none of them had the silver color. Never seen a spider with colors like this before. Very cool looking.
this is so huge!!!
Heck yeah it’s huge! I grabbed the gas pump out and it fell on my hand. I then freaked out and people at the gas station probably thought I was a crazy person haha. I’ve never seen a silver color like this on a spider before. It was really cool looking. At first I thought it was camouflaged to the metal pump. It also had two neon yellow stripes on its belly that were really cool looking too. My pictures just don’t do it justice.
