    Couldn't find the original thread, but I misspoke. I suggested and Eastwood product called Adhereto to make the paint stick to aluminum. It's actually a House of Kolor product.

    Did some aluminum pulleys this morning....

    I went to Autozone, picked up some high-heat primer (hey, it was for a miata, and them brakes can get hot!) adn some wheel paint. I did a light sanding, popped the beads, taped off the tires and bombed 'em. They looked GREAT! I was amazed! The color was silver, just like the daisies came stock but had a slight metal flake to them. Just enough to make them shine. For less then $25 I did all 4 14" daisies everyone who saw them was blown away!
