The only way I know of that being possible, is to get it to white, then overtone with a silver toner
doubt truth to be a liar.

Yep, you'll need to bleach your streak until its almost white (the inside of a banana peel is usually the color people go for), then use either more white blonde dye which is violet based (which is bad for your hair after bleach) or violet toner (which will need to be redone frequently, so I don't see how that's any better, but I'm not a pro, that's a question for them).  That will get it platinum white (no yellow), but it still won't be exactly gray.  I'm not sure exactly what combination of stuff you'd use to get real gray.
