Aluminum Paint

**bighoss88lx** · 10-20-2003, 12:20 PM

Im looking for some hi-temp spray paint that looks like bright polished aluminum, or at least close too it so I can paint my upper intake. What brand has everyone used with good results and looks good? Show me some pics if you got some. Thanks.

I just painted my CAI. I don't recall the brand, but I got it at O'Reilly's Auto Parts. AutoZone also has some selections...

btw, make sure the nozzle is clean before you start spraying...I learned the hard way...

Yeah, I have made a mess before by not cleaning the nozzle before I painted something. How close to aluminum did the paint you use look?

Its on a stock upper. Not worth it IMO. I have it stripped bare and partially polished but it's a pain in the ass and just want to paint it and get it on the car.
