Need aresol paint advice.

What's the best aresol paint for simulating the natural color of an aluminum intake manifold?

I've got an LD340 I need to bring back to life. I've also go an RPM manifold that needs a color change.

Thanks, guys.

I would'nt paint them. I would clean them first, then have them bead blasted. Powder coating will hol up better than aerosol spray cans.

I agree with Dave, send them to Leanna at PSC and have them powder coated you will not be disappointed.
