    Thought I'd try something completely different. Tiger Powdercoatings calls it "Silver Stardust Clear", shot it over the bare metal - sander marks & all... Ran the parts through our pretreatment washer at work, then rubbed everything down with a scotchbrite pad and MEK to get the discoloration from the conversion coating off. The sparkles are kind of irridescent in bright sunlight. I call it the Anti-Paintjob.

    Thanks for the compliments. It's taking me a while to get used to it, since I liked the Kandy Tangerine so much. I still have the old tins so I can switch back and try something different with powdercoat if I decide I don't like the clear. It does look pretty sharp in person though, so I'll probably keep it.
