    I have done the high temp paint before and as stated by others above it does have a aluminum color but does not have the "bright" aluminum color. If this is something different I would try. Most paints and clears I tried in the past looked great, but IMO a little dull....

    I have tried this stuff before and I can't get it to do much of anything. Is there a trick to it? Do I not wait long enough?
