I was thinking of either using the color polished aluminum of smoked chrome which are both very similar. I also like the wrinkle coat, but would want to have the fins and letters show like original. After glass bead blasting I see the elevation difference from the surface is not too much and would be quite difficult to achieve this factory look. That is why I thought about the polishe aluminum color as this would not be a distasteful mod IMO. I was told that the costant service temp of a normal powder coat is 250 degrees F or 350 degrees peak. I hope it will be good enough for my application. Also something to note is that the wrinkle coat via powder I have found is not high temp either so I guess it would be subject to the same issues?
