Paint

If u don't want the expense of having it professionally anodized, Eastwoods has a 3 can paint system that does a nice job.

Eastwood wants $54.99 for their kit. I did the same thing for under $20. I used gold spray paint, then highlighted with red and green/or blue zinc paint I found at Autozone. Came out nice, I don't know if it's better then Eastwood, but it was a hell of a lot cheaper.

I just checked, I used blue anodized and red anodized spray paint from Autozone for the highlights. I just fallowed the directions on the video that Eastwood has on their wed sight for the brake booster paint.

I used a good primer & then sprayed mine with the same paint as the engine.
