clear coat

Paint them with one of the Duplicolor specialty paints.

I did the front grill of my 93 with leftover wheel paint. Looks better.

I was thinking aobut clear coat but I wasnt sure

you can get it anodized in an aluminum color or blue, red, etc

really?!
how hard would it be to do that. i didnt know i could :shrug:

i guess no one knows huh

Take it to a company that does it. I'm sure it could be mailed in if there is noone local.

there are books on how to do it yourself. My memory of the process- you dip the aluminum in an acid bath to open the pores. then dip it in dye (the same dye you use for clothes, then dip in in cold water to close the pores.

hmm ok thanks

You can always have it chromed. I polished some stuff under my hood but the time to do it and havng to keep polishing it if you drive it alot is a bear. I would look at chrome or anodizing it. much easer up keep that way.
