I used Dupli-color Engine paint. The Aluminum with ceramic in it and than I used the clear coat. They look just like they did when they came from the factory.

i was just looking at the pics of your camaro and its very impressive. i was wondering what you did to clean up the runners and the plenum? i was going to take mine off and glass bead them, then spray them with saitin clear. is that what you did, or did you paint them with the dupili-color aluminum engine paint too?
thanks,
Brian

Most aluminum engine paint will come out looking like mexi-chrome. You might have to try a few different types before you find a match.

It's the dupli-color paint too.

The clear coat, will it turn yellowish after a while ?
