I used EASTWOOD CAD for the Brake bracket over the rear axle. From a distance it appears correct. Bryan, ILL

Some years back, a friend and I used the Eastwood product. Results were reasonable. If you go that route, strongly suggest some test/ practice shoots to get the right combination of color.

I use a combination of two paints I bought from Advance Auto. I started with the lighter color the when still wet I dusted a little of the gold flake over the top.  Since their is a limit to the number of pictures I will post pictures of the cans.   The Allen headed plug is new Yellow Cad plating.  The hex headed plug is painted.
