A few years ago there was an article in one of the street rod magazines that had a 32 Ford painted to look like aluminum that was on fire under the hood. That car played a roll in my car having the ghost flames on it. The paint if I remember correctly was a special mix PPG that the painter (shop) had made by mixing two colors together. The paint was slowly poured into a larger container the it was not shaken to completly mix it but it was stured (SP) slowly to leave trace colors of each of the two colors. Then it was overshaded with a third color to put the streaks in that is inhearant with aluminum. The the car paint was scratched with shocthgaurd and overshot with a clear coat. I had discussed this with my painter in great detail and decided not to do it because of the enourmous expense to do it. As it was the paint on my car cost ten grand!
I don't know the colors but I have seen it done and I could not tell if it was paint or aluminum.
If you are going to spend that kind of Money to make your car look aluminum you may as well have aluminum, Call David Kirkham and order an aluminum Kikham and you will need NO PAINT to make it look like aluminum!
