thnx guys

and the bare metal look is explained a xxx amount of posts back

its actually silver aluminium zink spray and in fact there is really a layer of aluminium on the car ..
spray the parts and it will look metallic grey , sand i long enough with fine paper and you will find aluminium stuck on your sandaper and the body starts to look more and more like bare metal ...

did the spark plug wires , made out of thin brass wire from old chanpaign bottles fitted them , bended them into shape and painted them red while fitted on the engine
where they go in the engine i still need to pains some black (like the round holes that are now red)

also did some fith on the door from the exhausts










the udercarridge was a problem i could not sand there to get the same effect like on the body it was still clean an silver.
so i washed it and made it look filthy ....
didnt want any rust on the car so i kept it like this

Have you tryed using the plastic that things come packaged in? It is a thin thermal plastic that will bend with heat. You just have to be carefull because not much heat is needed before it goes bonkers....
