Rocket Socket, you are right about aluminum conducting electricity, mike88 you are thinking about aluminum not being ferrous like iron which means it is not able to be magnetized. I have heard about people powder coating almost everything but we have to remember there is a difference between a show car that is trailored, and hardly allowed to come completely up to full operating temperature and our cars which are daily driven. I have seen show cars with chrome headers that don't even have heat temper discoloration on them which means the engine has never been fired over even once!!!! That's furniture in my opinion, not mechanical beauty, but that's another subject. Don't mean to hijack this thread....
