If you want a more "original" finish have it sand blasted, for a smoother finish have it glass beaded. In either case I'd recommend you paint it with clear ENGINE paint (yes engine paint is available in clear). Do NOT use regular clear paint as it will yellow when heated While painting it with clear DOES change its appearance (you might want to try it on a test piece first to see if you like it) it prevents it from oxidizing in the future. Engine paint is also available in "Aluminum" but in my experience it's not very "original" in its appearance. But again some folks like it and it does protect against oxidation. But HEY,,,, that's just ME!!! Bruce Hevner -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
