BPS would be my first call, decals can be made by any good copy or sign shop. Any aluminum paint will work as long as you can tint and match color. I always thought that if I ever re-did a tinner, I would use that expensive aircraft paint, I assume it would bond and hold up better.

For a good long lasting finish you will need an acid cleaner and an ethcing (spelling?) primer then you can use any type of top coat you want. I will tell you it ain't cheap.

Mike, Where is Bensalem? I live just South of the Mason Dixon in MD and have everything but the paint/color. Primer, cleaner ect. I don't need any longer.

Hey Mike, An epoxy based paint may not be a bad idea. Is this a winter project or want to do now? I am not far from 95, 90 mile south of Philly. If you want the stuff I have we could meet up somewhere? If you want specifics as to what I have let me know and I will get the info off the product. I just put it in the basement so it would not freeze. I just hate to see good stuff go to waste. Besides it's free................

Mike just post the pics in your library here for the whole site to see.

I wonder what the cost would be to get it powder coated?
