[DeTomaso] Clear Coating Aluminum?

[Paul A. Rimov]

Afternoon Thomas:

Actually the finish is Eastwood's "detail gray" from the pint thinned about 
15 percent with mid temp reducer and sprayed from a gravity feed sprayer. 
This is the second time I have painted it. The last paint job held up great 
for 5 years and the only reason I repainted it was due to the fact I had to 
have it serviced and installed 3.77 gears recently. The Alumi-blast is much 
brighter and more well aluminum looking. Both colors seem to hold up well as 
I have a friend here in town the has done countless top notch mustang and 
Shelby restorations and he always paints the transmissions with the Eastwood 
Alumi-blast. He recently sold a restored KR-500 for 130K. Would have loved 
to have that in the garage next to the P-car but my wife thinks we should 
save our money for our new house we are planning on, someday, maybe, well 
hopefully.
