    not trying to match perse... I'll paint the whole car. It was just a mention of the issues I had.
    maybe I'm weird, I just don't like overly shiney stuff. I don't care for chrome, I prefer aluminum with a duller finish.

    I don't mind doing extra work.... the car is taking a very very long time, I have no intention of being done in the next few years. Shoot when I finish I'll buy another car, or tear apart one of my trucks.


    thanks again for the ideas.

    Easy, just paint it NOW, and leave it outside, and it will have the weathered patina by the time your ready to finish the car.
